All Things Pixel

Feeling a little square after a long, hard week of working for the man? Set those square pixels free as we explore pixelized creations.
This Pixel Lamp by Istavan Kulinyi is a mobile lamp with a grid of pixels that can be rotated from black to white to orange to create different shapes, looks and feels.
Polish students at a technology university created this show using the lights in their dorm building. I can't vouch for Polish tastes as this shows spends quite a bit of time re-enacting the Matrix complete with gun fights and only a few seconds of Michael Jackson, but it is interesting anyway.
Cdroig (hover over the left side of Entrar and click to get into the company page), a company out of Valencia, created Pixels XL as a wall decoration that can be personalized and constantly changed. They are actually magnetic tiles and require that you apply a coat of ferric paint (contains iron).
Danielle Aubert published a book full of art created in Excel. It took 16 months of formatting cell by cell to create enough pieces for a full book. Excel lovers rejoice. Something to break the monotony of all those numbers!
