In conjunction with Art Design Chicago and Video Game Gallery, we checked in with curator Jon Cates and artist Jeffrey Daniels to discuss the largely untold story of Chicago’s role in the history of new media, including the legacy of Chicago’s pioneers and their influence on digital art practice today.

Jeffrey Daniels, Artist, in conversation with Jon Cates

On this weeks episode, Dana and Brian nerd out with the impressive and eclectic team behind Chicago New Media 1973-1992, currently on view at Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois, Chicago and presented in partnership with Video Game Art Gallery. Guests Jon Cates, Tiffany Funk, Chaz Evans and Jonathan Kinkley talk us through the major historical moments in Chicago New Media history, including, but definitely not limited to, the midwest origins of Mortal Kombat. Oh, also, we're all wearing costumes.
