The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment, The MADE, will open its first exhibit “The History of 3D” on Dec. 3.
The MADE, which moved to downtown Oakland in October, is dedicated to preserving video games and presenting them as art. Using the crowd funding site Kickstarter.com, the museum raised $20,000 to secure the new location.
The exhibit focuses on the history of 3D in games and will feature playable demonstrations of games displayed.
“3D is such a broad topic in video games. Our exhibit creators, Jason Cutler and Nealon Leadbetter evaluated hundreds of games and types of 3D, from voxels to vectors, from pre-rendered sprites to normal mapped polygons,” Director of The MADE Alex Handy said. “They’ve chosen a wonderfully varied set of examples from the rich history of video gaming on consoles and computers. We hope this exhibition inspires the next generation of game developers, both young and old.”
The exhibit will be on display throughout December on weekends and during scheduled hours, which will be available onwww.themade.org.
Admission is donation based.
