PLAY! TableTop Night April

In a spirit of bringing landscape, community, and interface together, Janne Schimmel is hosting  a pixel art hiking workshop. Participants are invited on a hike with the artist and create pixel-art interpretations of the view, compressing real-world vastness into the Game Boy’s 160×144-pixel screen. 

All the artworks will be bundled onto a Game Boy cartridge at the end of the workshop. Each participant will receive their own cartridge containing the collection. 

No specific knowledge needed, bring a tablet or laptop with a pixel editing app
