Rosemarie Fiore Makes Arcade Games Into Fine Art
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Rosemarie's site is down right now. My guess is that so many people were going to the site to look at her great work, that it crashed her server. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Thanks a bunch, Digg!
Artist Rosemarie Fiore has made these incredible art pieces by photographing old arcade games being played including two of my childhood favorites, Tempest and the Mondrian-esque Qix. Also featured are pieces dedicated to Quantum and Gyrus. Rosemarie explains the process on her website:
These photographs are long exposures taken while playing video war games of the 80’s created by Atari, Centuri and Taito... By recording each second of an entire game on one frame of film, I captured complex patterns not normally seen by the eye.
You can see the entire gallery of photographs on her website as well as her other work. In particular, be sure to check out her Balls of Steel piece featuring paint applied by pinballs being played on an Evel Kenevel pinball machine. Sweet!

Wow! Just gorgeous. The Qix piece looks like Piet Mondrian. I just love the Tempest pics. I've been a Tempest junkie since I was knee high to a pig's eye.
Um, when I visited her page it said the account had been suspended... anyone else having this problem? :(
When I click on any of the links, I'm taken to a page that says that her account has been suspended . . . err.
I suppose someone's in trouble.
Um . . . how do you format this text now? There used to be a link that opened a pop-up that showed you which symbols would make text italicized, bold, etc., but I can't find it anymore. :(
