Fixation Database of Video Games

The Fixation Database is a visual study of color and light rhythm in films, music videos, and other time-based media. Each image in the database presents every frame from the source video placed sequentially in a grid, creating a visual, colored timeline called a fixation.

This Video Game Database focuses on the historical development of video games, color trends, level design, and platform comparisons. From the dark early games like Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, and Galaga, through the 8-bit era of limited, saturated color of Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros., to the DVD-ROM revolution in the 1990s, the database reveals color palettes, story arcs, cut scenes, visual dynamics, motion, action, and level construction. The source videos are longplays (screen recordings of a game being played from start to finish) and are downloaded from YouTube. Since each video is the unique experience of one highly skilled player, each fixation can vary, especially across platforms.
