Anyone who’s ever felt the desire to adopt a pixel can now make their dream come true thanks to Entangled Sparks. Foster parents assume authority over one of the points of light on the Ars Electronica Center’s façade. Meanwhile, the façade’s pixels are being distributed about town in the form of Linzer Schnitt pastries with a tiny radio receiver hidden inside. So, instead of wolfing it down and being done with it, you’ll just have to come up with some creative way to put it to use.
Playing with Light
For instance, via remote control from the privacy of your own home, you could toggle your adopted pixel on and off, or make it shine steadily, blink, or slowly segue from bright to dark. You could even join forces with other pixel-adopters and design a pattern for the AEC’s façade. Accompanying workshops https://ars.electronica.art/Link-zu-den-entangled-sparks-Workshops provide an opportunity to get acquainted with the innards of the Linzer Schnitten and to give some thought to how you could put this technology developed at the Ars Electronica Futurelab to use in your own project.
