Glitch Gallery

Glitch Gallery: Press START to Art is a mini-arcade of games and art presented by Art175: Game Design Studio and the Game Development Club at San Jose State. The Show featured four arcade cabinets and one console station. Glitch Gallery is the spiritual successor to BURN OUT, this time deviating even further from the standard end of the semester student work show affair. The physical cabinets and cramped elbow-to-elbow gaming force an even more authentic arcade feel. The Show was organized and curated by John Bruneau with much help from members of the Game Development club and the Students of Art175.
