Week 11: Internet Art Project Post: Low Level All-Stars(Winny)

I went through many projects in the link, and Low Level All-Stars surprises me at the moment I see it. The whole page is in the style of old-school video game; the detailed animation at the title makes me feel like someone has just typed out the words. At the bottom, it says ā€œā€˜Low Level All-Starsā€™ is presented by Radical Software Group and Beige Recordsā€, the style of ā€œBeige Recordsā€ seems like Childs drawing, which makes it more interesting, nostalgic.

ā€œVideo game culture has long relied on ā€˜crackers,ā€™ the fearless geeks who remove a gameā€™s copy protection through brute tradeā€¦ā€ the beginning takes me into the setting of a legendary video game story. And al the crackers shown in this page are formatted in rows, like the title indicates, they are the members for the All-Stars show. 

When I click one project, it pops out a new window, where the background color stays coherent. And when I watch the video of the same project, the screen of old video games jump out, the electronic beeps starts. This webpage is like a museum of old video games.

This project inspires me in terms of artistic style, a coherent theme, and the idea of preserving old video games.
