Q-bert attack - The New Dark Age

Interdisciplinary artist Ben Jones of the East Coast art collective Paper Rad (whose primary deal is to combine multiple medias online and also to create books) solo show of crossover-media video sculpture, light painting, and “drawing in the digital age” is currently showing at the Deitch Projects. Ben explores new methods of pictorial storytelling through the drawn, projected, and sculpted line. Take a look at some of his work:

On a side note careful when visiting Paper Rad's site - it reminds me of a Q-bert game on acid: images jump at you and you get sucked in to the vortex of color and sound.
