/// PICKING UP SPEED
With the chip aesthetic increasingly entrenched in mainstream culture (with chip sounds and pixel art finding their way into television, motion pictures, and ironically enough, modern video games), chipmusicians and visualists find they are no longer expected to educate their audiences, but instead are free to innovate. As the community becomes less of a genre and more of an ethos, documenting the ever-growing diversification of the community is the Blip Festival's goal.
And with that in mind, we're excited to announce the lion's share of this year's lineup — a lineup that features artists from such exotic locales as China, Australia, France, Japan, and New Jersey. Boasting a stylistic range that's difficult to pigeonhole or classify, this year's selection of performers will be offering up sounds & images that are smooth, classy, abrasive, aggressive, dancefloor-friendly, thought-provoking, and above all, always intriguing.
