A- - -Z presents ‘16-bit’, an installation by David Blandy. Blandy’s work interrogates facets of post-millenial identity through the lens of globally influential pop cultural forms such as arcade games, hip hop and manga.

The project is set at Four Quarters in Peckham (187 Rye Lane, SE15 4NF), a bar which has built its reputation hosting arcade games and consoles. Two works by David Blandy will be presented. 
The 2015 Workweek Prize has been awarded to David Blandy and A—Z for 16-Bit.
http://www.artquest.org.uk/articles/view/workweek_prize

One is an arcade game made by the artist, the other will be a film screened on the opening night of Art Licks Weekend.

- ‘Duels And Dualities: Battle Of The Soul’ (2011) enters the realm of the 90’s arcade games with Blandy’s alter-egos facing each other in a never ending battle 

- the game will be installed from the 30th of September to the 7th of October 

- ‘Backgrounds’ (2013) will be screened on the 1st of October at 7pm and on the 7th of October at 8pm. This 16-bit aesthetic film looks at the artist and his father’s virtual identities - both represented as their alter-egos, they walk through lo-res landscapes and discuss their respective practices. 

The choice of these two works reflects the artist’s play on identities, the retro-virtual, and the question of art and boundaries - operating outside of the classic parameters. 

This project is part of A—Z’s ongoing research project around the display and dissemination of artwork and adds to the morphic and viral forms of the platform.
