Portable Pixel Playground comes to Carnforth station

Carnforth Station (Furness and Midland Hall), Carnforth, Lancashire

An adventure in technology

Admission Free

This October, the Portable Pixel Playground comes to Carnforth, and the Furness and Midland Hall at Carnforth Station. 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 virtual 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.

Portable Pixel Playground has been supported by the Big Lottery Fund, and brand identity is by the Rehab Agency www.visitrehab.com
