'Overflowing' the art gallery

There are always a couple art pieces at the Cerritos College art gallery that destroy the conventional "art."

In the "Over/Flow" exhibit, one of those pieces is of hacked video games.

At first, it makes you wonder what the point is. It's just some video games on a HDTV.

Then you see Mega Man go through those doors to get to the boss level. Suddenly, Mega Man multiplies by 1,000.

The TV also featured similar hacks to a Mortal Kombat game, a Street Fighter game, and Contra.

Another piece that was really interesting was a giant collage of what looks like magazine clippings.

It felt like a "Where's Waldo" book. Every five minutes you looked at it, you would find something new that you didn't see in it before.

Other impressive pieces were of iPod graphics and a 3-D twisting model.
