# Retro Gaming Wall Art 8 Bit Invader Literally Takes Pixelated Art to New Heights By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8-bit-invader References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/chrismenning/awesome-pixel-art-projected-on-building) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/24577973) Fans of the NES and SNES are going to flip when they see 8 bit Invader. 8 bit Invader is a video created by artist Pavel Novák that simulates some of the most popular games of yesteryear on the Department of Visual Art building in Uherské Hradiště, Czech Republic. The games featured in 8 bit Invader include such classics as Super Mario Bros. and Space Invaders. The best part about this video is watching the games interact with the features on the buildings facade. Seeing Mario jump onto a window or the Duck Hunt dog rise out of an overhang is truly something special. You can check out the video here, along with a ton of other awesome 8-bit art, gadgets and more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Gaming Art:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create nostalgic, pixelated artwork inspired by classic video games. - **Interactive Building Projections:** Potential for using projections to create immersive experiences where digital content interacts with physical structures. - **Video Game Nostalgia:** Growing market for products and experiences that tap into the nostalgia of retro video games, creating a sense of familiarity and enjoyment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** Artists can capitalize on the demand for retro gaming-inspired artwork by creating unique and nostalgic pieces. - **Event and Entertainment:** Event organizers and entertainment companies can incorporate interactive building projections to enhance the overall experience and engage the audience. - **Gaming Merchandise:** Companies can develop and market a range of products that tap into the video game nostalgia trend, catering to the growing demand for retro gaming-themed merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Meta Mobile Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-switch-small-invader.md) - [Retro Gaming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamestation-retro.md) - [Retro Gaming Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invaders-my-play-watch.md) - [Alien-Hunting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taito.md) - [Pixelated Gamer Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-pacman-gaming-pixel-light.md) - [Nostalgic 3D-Printed Arcade Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock.md) - [Retro Gaming Room Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-gaming-box.md) - [Nostalgic Game Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riki-8bit-game-collection.md) - [AI-Supporting Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronics-hub-art.md)
