Street Pixel is hardware graffiti; designed to reinvigorate the relationship between people and their cities by transforming the street below into opportunities for connection and play using creative technology, game design and a sustainable approach to materials and electronic hardware.
Street Pixel is created by Biome Collective which is an interdisciplinary studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of playful media. Over the last decade our projects have been redefining the relationship between audiences and public spaces with experiences and interventions that combine game design with unique hardware. Their work has transformed architecture and cultural spaces into responsive artworks- accessible and dynamic environments that break down barriers and create playful opportunities between these spaces and the public. They see huge opportunities to support and improve social dynamics and mental health in urban environments using creative and sustainable solutions that engage people with each other and their environments.
