One thing I like about arcade cabinets is the artwork some games have plastered all over. Great artwork can be an effective way to draw attention to an otherwise bland cabinet. If you want a cabinet to stand out even more and you are an artist, then you might just do something similar to what these guys have done in London. Known as Faile and BAST, they have opened an arcade-themed art gallery which features their own “pop-comic-advertising style” over the cabinets. The exhibit is located at the Lazarides Rathbone Place Gallery in London and runs through March 19th. You can find out more as well as watch of video of them putting the exhibit together here.
