Anypixel

Richard The

“Anypixel” is an interactive installation for the lobby at the Google NYC office. It consists of 5880 off-the-shelf arcade buttons that act as pixels. The piece is both an ambient sign and an interactive multi-user experience where each button causes the sign to react. We created 15 different designs, each with their own visual aesthetic, typography and interactivity.
