In the early 1980s, pixels were not an aesthetic choice-they were a technical limitation. Yet these blocky, colorful shapes gave rise to an entire visual culture, from the sprites of Space Invaders to the worlds of Super Mario Bros.. As technology advanced, pixels were smoothed away in pursuit of realism-but in recent decades, they have returned as a deliberate artistic strategy. Return of the Pixel in Contemporary Art explores how contemporary artists like Kristoffer Zetterstrand, Per Fhager, Feng Mengbo, Anna Anthropy, Hansaem Kim, and collectives like eBoy transform pixels into interactive games, installations, murals, and online collaborations. This book traces the pixel's journey from technological constraint to aesthetic choice, showing how it continues to inspire imagination, play, and artistic innovation today.
