PIKSEL: A Pop-Up Interactive Art Installation - se tidslinje

Pop-up kunstnerisk opplevelse

PIKSEL is a mobile pop-up installation created for schoolyards in Buskerud municipality, Norway, designed to take students on a creative journey through contemporary art. It appears as a vibrant forest of colors to explore, interact with, and observe from a unique aerial viewpoint. The project emphasizes discovering different perceptions of art and understanding its spatial and visual impacts.

Mobil og samarbeidende installasjon

The installation is practical and mobile, disassembling to fit into a standard-sized van for transport. Upon arrival, students receive instructions and work in teams to assemble PIKSEL within an hour. The culmination of their collaborative effort is captured with a drone, revealing the collective image of the pixels, which is then streamed to their smartphones, offering a perspective shift from bottom-up to top-down.

Parametrisk design møter Warhol

The use of parametric design tools like Grasshopper 3D facilitates the transformation of Andy Warhol's famous halftone portrait of Marilyn Monroe into the interactive installation. PIKSEL's design can evolve by applying the same algorithm to different images, which allows for the creation of new unique assemblies while reusing the same building components.
