The New Yorker artist Cory Arcangel works with game systems, hacking and alterating their hard- and software. In the last few years, Arcangel has concentrated on the programming language of the so-called 8-bit system, which, at the beginning of the 1980s, introduced a new era - the Game Generation. The artist’s interest lies in new interpretations of what has become redundant technology in today’s society. In his best-known work ‘Super Mario Clouds V2k3’ (2003), he hacks into the graphic chip of the best-selling game ‘Super Mario Bros’ from 1985, leaving only one single cloud passing by. In order to represent the screen quality of Arcangel’s work, Moiré exchanged the standard printing colours yellow and magenta for fluorescent yellow and red spot colours.
