Game Art: The Slo Mo Guys's Super Mario Bros. Slow (2018)
Let's face it: with a slightly different conceptual framing, a White Cube context, and an enigmatic, cryptic, inaccessible artist statement, this could have become the Game Art equivalent of Douglas Gordon's 24 Hour Psycho (1993). Instead, it's just a missed opportunity.
What if we could watch a game of Super Mario Bros. slowed down to, say, 380,000 frames per second and played it on an old TV? YouTubers The Slow Mo Guys did just that. Gavin Free and Dan Gruchy’s YouTube channel is all about using an expensive camera to slow things way, way down. (Matthew Gault, Motherboard).
