The Circus is coming to the Arts District.
Two Bit Circus is bringing its micro amusement to the Arts District
In a few short weeks, everyone in Los Angeles will get the opportunity to take the first peek at what, for Bushnell and his co-founder Eric Gradman, has been a years-long quest to reinvent the funhouse for a new generation of amusement seekers. The story, according to TechCrunch, begins in ’08 in a warren of lofts and artist spaces on the outer edges of downtown Los Angeles, located at 634 San Mateo Street, Gradman, Bushnell and a merry band of pranksters would experiment with all the new gadgets and gizmos that earlier generations of tech designers and manufacturers were bringing to market. In the tradition of the best hardware hackers Bushnell, Gradman and their friends were looking for ways to combine nascent sensing, projection and visualization technologies in experiences and events that would delight and amaze. Entering the Two Bit Circus the first things that visitors see is a circular bar in the center of the converted warehouse space that will serve as the testing ground for Bushnell and Gradman’s global ambitions.
To the left is a Midway arcade that’s filled with updated version of Coney Island style classics like “Demolition Zone” where two players swing a physical wrecking ball at a virtual skyscraper to see who can cause the most damage; or “Big Top Balloon Pop” a game for up to four players where contestants have to color match balls fed to them and toss them at colored balloons in front of them to pop as many balloons as possible. Classics like skee ball are also available unadorned and timeless (really, who messes with perfection?).
Behind the Midway is a robotic bartender that banters with patrons who sidle up to watch the automated cocktail maker work its magic. Named Guillermo del Pouro, the robot behind the bar will mix up classic and virgin drinks for teetotalers and tipplers alike.
At the back of the show are story rooms where patrons can experience the latest in virtual reality-enhanced escape room-like experiences where would-be adventurers can explore secret Aztec temples, hurtle through space and explore strange new worlds in the game “Space Squad in Space”, or try to survive a trip down a haunted river in the bayous of Louisiana.
The Arts District is once again at the center of attention with the addition of the circus. The reuse of old industrial buildings started here with Arts Lofts and now offers a home to the high tech circus experience of Two-bit Circus.
