Take your Pixel

Here are some lovely photos taken by Line Nielsen of the Pixelade exhibition created by Malene Bang og Katja Løgstrup-Hansen working with games developers from the Copenhagen Game Collective. 
Even if you look hard, you won't find Wally this time.

Pixelade

Ever sat watching your kids poke an ipad screen with 

just one finger and wondered what 

they’d do if they woke up inside a Minecraft game? 

Well now you can find out!

 First Nikolaj Church was converted into an

art centre some time ago. 

And now it’s been COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED 

into a huge pixel playground.

Holy cow! 

If you’ve ever felt like a square peg in a round hole
you feel totally at home in this quadratic landscape
complete with colourful cubic cushions and cows.
Yes cows. Why cows? Why not! Why are they snoring?
Who knows. But you can’t help smiling as you listen
 with your ear up close to their white furry tummies. Better get mooooving, though as the exhibition closes on 9 November.

We had fun playing hunt the pixel - like hunt the thimble.
1. While one person shuts their eyes, the other takes
a photo of a pixel pattern.
2. Then the hunt is on. Looking at the photo,
the second person has to try and find exactly the pixels in the photo.

It's not easy beacuse the lighting keeps changing :o)

From green, to red and then back to white.

Look closely and you can see the multi-coloured cushion cubes. 

They are great for building towers, castles, you name it!

And look even closer and you might see another cow
sitting up high on the steps.

You can also make patterns of your own on the light boxes
(which probably have a much more spectacular name really)

A very 'hands-on' experience.

Here is the room on its own...

And with Victoria (far left, we think) and her friends.
All these photos were taken by Line Nielsen.

MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON

as soon as I've dug the camera cable out from under the sacks of body parts in the back of our car.
We used them for Halloween decorations and a murder investigation around the neighbourhood.

Inspired by the pixel hunt, we hid a head, hands, feet, a stuffed jacket, stuffed trousers and a brain. Then the kids in Jake's class had to find them and take photos while out collecting candy. Once they had guessed the identity of the corpse and put together a jigsaw puzzle of his face (Michael Jackson you are our hero), they were allowed into heaven/hell to the strains of Thriller (what I would call a homemade Halloween disco but that's because I'm too old to know what discos are called these days).

Dr Watson didn't mind dressing up either!
