GameFest

Exhibition-goers walk past Nam June Paik's Electronic Superhighway (second photo). The American Art Museum will be highlighting the work of video art pioneer Paik with a show of his work in December 2012.

While GameFest is taking place in both our Kogod Courtyard and McEvoy Auditorium, people are also taking in The Art of Video Games exhibition. Right now the line to get in stretches around the entire third floor of the building. The great thing about waiting in this line is you get to see amazing art as you move forward.

Don't be dissuaded from seeing the show by the looks of this opening weekend crowd. There's plenty of time. You've got until the end of September to see it.
