Pixel art hiking workshop
04 April, 2026 11:30
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
