“The Pixel Lab starting point is defined by two things: the calibre of the projects and the cocktail of input lined up to challenge the participants throughout the six days. Strong filtering of projects and project holders ensures a variety of ideas and talent that displays real potential, increasing year on year. A clear editorial by the Power to the Pixel team funnels the participants through a series of thought provoking, inspiring and demanding lectures and workshops that help shape both the attitudes of those attending and the projects submitted.

Relevant and engaging are two of the key words that can be used to both describe the approach taken by PttP team in its execution of the week and the approach the participants are encouraged to take when designing their cross-media projects in relation to their audiences.

All project holders and all attending producers experience a week saturated in input that has immediate impact on the way they think about their own work. The week is so intense that the real benefits are only truly gauged once those participating have had a chance to go away and reflect.”
