An exhibition inspired by the 2002 Grand Theft Auto video game and the memory and mythologising of the decade it simulated.
About
YouBlewItUp presents Night Of Vice an exhibition by Peter Humphrey and Eliot Jones.
Night Of Vice is the story of a night in Vice City, the virtual city of the 2002 Grand Theft Auto video game set in a fictional 1980’s Miami.
Taking our experience of playing this game as a portal into 1980’s culture, channeling it into a musical and visual experience of its own that explores our memory and mythologizing of that decade.
In ‘Night of Vice’ the urban landscape of 'GTA: Vice City' is treated as a real location for the shooting of a music video, a night of cruising the streets in a convertible under the neon glow of Ocean Drive as it radiates from our TV screens.
The night will feature an experimental film screening with a live musical performance. Accompanied by an installation comprised of lightbox art works, sound and image.
