3. PORTABLE PIXEL PLAYGROUND AT St NICHOLAS' SHOPPING CENTRE, LANCASTER
Portable Pixel Playground comes to St Nicholas' Shopping Centre, Lancaster on Saturday 24th January 2009.
The Portable Pixel Playground is an amazing new play space for all ages created by artists working with digital technology. A bit like an adventure playground, a bit like a work of art, and a bit like a computer game, the playground has been designed to allow young people (and inquisitive adults!) to use everyday technologies in fun and creative ways, providing them with new, interactive and hands-on experiences of art and technology.
The Playground will feature a brand new piece of art commissioned from internationally-acclaimed artists Squidsoup, where you’ll be able to create and affect a physical landscape inhabited by a host of virtuali creatures.
The playground will also include an artwork by Finland-based Andy Best and Merja Puustinen: an inflatable “bouncy castle” in which your jumping, rolling and crawling creates a sound sensation.
The Playground is touring Cumbria and Lancashire for the next two years.

The festival offers its visitors a current overview of new experimental films, installations, performances, digital formats and hybrid forms, ranging from personal and political subjects to formal experiments and provocative statements. In 2009, the festival will explore the areas of long-term archival storage and the public options for use of Media Art. The
exhibition entitled Image Battles refers to the connection between technological progress and the transformation of the images of war using current Media Art and historical exhibits.
