My visit to the Barbican, London Art Gallery

I went on a lil trip to the Barbican Art Gallery in the holidays to check out an artist that I really enjoy, to see what he had to offer. His name is Cory Arcangel and his exhibition is based mainly on the transition of technology and the effects they may have on society. I was shocked to see in his piece of  Self Playing Bowling Games, how quickly the games' consoles grew from the Atari in the beginning to the GameCube which was much more advanced.

This trip was very exciting for me and I felt that after looking at Arcangels work and then being able to see it was  a great experience.

It was also a beautiful day and the outside of the gallery was perfect for it. So much so that I took a little video of all the duckies swimming about around the building and yes I felt the need to upload it so take a look for yourself. Please excuse the ending(Haha) I haven't bothered editing.
