Designer Breaks Down, Mixes Videogame Characters Into ‘Scrambled Pixels’

Austria-based designer Laura Vidal disassembled classic videogame characters into pixels and ‘stirred’ them to create posters. In the series ‘Scrambled videogame characters’, characters—such as Sonic, Pac Man, Lemmings, Mario, Luigi—become mushy pixels that can be identified only by color. Vidal originally created the posters for her friend David, who just moved into a new flat. “I wanted to buy something useful for him, but he was faster than me and he already got everything he needed, so I decided to mix his two passions—videogames and pixels—and make something not so useful,” she wrote.
