Concealed Art: Indiana Jones the Pinball Adventure DMD Art Print

"Concealed Art" uses retro game consoles, pinball machines and arcade machines as data source and visualize the machines inner working, uncovering beautiful and unexpected patterns which were hidden to the world until now.

Games that were written 30 years ago are used as a source to build a new, interesting representation.

This art print gives you almost 2000 unique Dot Matrix Display (DMD) video memory dumps while an artificial intelligence machine was playing the pinball game!

The "Indiana Jones the Pinball Adventure" machine was released in August 1993. Mark Ritchie and Doug Watson did the design of the game while Brian Eddy did the programming of it. The video memory dumps are not visible on a real machine but are combined together to get the 4 colors on the Dot Matrix Display.

The poster visualize the Video Random Access Memory while the game is running. This uncovers the inner working of the machine and at the same time it reveals its concealed but unique pattern to the world.
