KOSHI KAWACHI’S REFLECTIONS ON THE DEATH OF MARIO
More gallery art goodness: currently on display at Tokyo’s Lower Akihabara Gallery is artist Koshi Kawachi‘s “The death of Mario”, a series of pieces that capture the spirit (as it were) more than the letter of Mario’s death.
The title image above, for instance, is — I’m assuming — a pile of the pixel-blocks that’d make up Mario in his earliest Jumpman Donkey Kong days. Kawachi has more images at his exhibit blog, with more d-pad crosses, constructed altars and seedling rebirths for the man that’s died uncountable millions of deaths over the past 25+ years.
