Entry Description

PIXELATA is a project that combines art, recycling, sustainability, environmental awareness and social participation.
It consists of creating murals with large-format pixelated images, using beverage cans, recycled and painted on its base by the participating public and placed on a modular self-supporting stand designed for that purpose.
The first launch of PIXELATA was at the Craft Fair FARCAMA 2017, with the collaboration of “Every can counts in Spain”, a European awareness program on the recycling of beverage cans and environmental sustainability.
