PIXELATION was a project done by the collaborative effort of students of Furniture Design, Interior Architecture and Interactive Media Design departments of The Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague, as part of the ANTS project. The brief was to build a 6 square meter sized hut on the courtyard of the Institute, out of waste materials gathered from across the city.
Every hut served a unique purpose in the 'village' of 14 huts, constructed by different groups of students. Ours was a functional statement on the dominance of surveillance exercised by the power-elite. Literally, a blurred out physical space where anyone could take shelter.
