There was an art gallery called "I Am 8-Bit" from April 17th to May 12th this year at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. Here is a link to Joystiq's gallery of photos of the artwork there: http://www.joystiq.com/photos/i-am-8-bit-exhibit/. It was really awesome, and I highly recommend buying the gallery's art book if it's still available. http://www.iam8bit.net/
And some awesome dude made a 5.5 foot tall Atari 2600 joystick for the opening night party. It was playable by anybody there, and they had some cartridge with maybe 20-30 games on it (Pong, Pitfall, the usual suspects...). I can find this picture of the guy who made it, but I can't find his name or any other information right now.
