Wow! Dr. Bao and Spive of the NVC Crew continue to out do themselves on each custom project. This time around, it's for LA's Gallery 1988 retro-cool I AM 8 Bit show opening this Tuesday, April 17th. To really understand what Dr. Bao and Spive did for their piece, watch this interesting video:



So you get the idea, right? For the I AM 8 Bit show and to celebrate Megaman's 20th anniversary, Dr. Bao and Spive decided to make a diorama which replicates a fictious stage in the Megaman video game. The enemy in this case is a new character NVC made up called "Vinyl Man" which uses 45 LP records as his weapons. The most interesting part is the addition of a circuit bender built into the Nintendo controller. When you push the buttons, you can manipulate the video game sounds ala DJ-style. The idea came from Johnny Ill Digger from the Boom Bap Cats. Fresh indeed. Great job Dr. Bao and Spive! Love the idea!!!
