Host Daniel Durning takes a fascinating look into the world of Low-Bit Visualists, who accompany the Chiptune musicians in their explosive festival performances.

NO CARRIER, PARIS TREANTAFELES a.k.a. PARIS, and Wil Lindsay a.k.a. VBLANK talk about their craft and the visual effects they achieve through wrangling pixels and programming 8 bit systems.
