who says dark & stormy nights are no fun?

Wee Pixels celebrated subcultures that uniquely highlighted the five quadrants that border the Willamette by 3D printing hundreds of LED embedded mini sculptures that attach (via magnets) to a metal facade on site. These 3D printed light sculptures were assembled and arranged into a larger collective piece that spoke to the power of many small strange things. In adhering the sculptures via magnets, we allowed the small 3D printed objects to be interactive—encouraging folks to move and rearrange pieces and even pocket the pieces (whether they be destined for the fridge at home or randomly attached to steel infrastructural elements elsewhere in the city on the way to work).
