8static is a Philadelphia-based chiptune and electronic arts event series celebrating the fusion of retro gaming and modern electronic music and art. We showcase performances by artists who push the limits of sound chips, use technology in an interesting way, or comment on video game culture and art.

Beyond live events, 8static fosters a community for artists and fans who explore chip music, pixel art, performance arts, hacking hardware or sofware, creative visual coding, and creative culture in general.
