If you have a functioning set of eyes you’ll have encountered the work of
eBoy. Made up of three Eastern European bros (Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig and Svend Smital), the collective has built a mini empire around pixel-based art and design. Setting up shop in 1997, they’ve gone on to work with some of the biggest companies in the world (Coca Cola, Adidas, Amazon, Honda), been commissioned by the glossiest magazines and collaborated with all the vinyl toy regulars.
Their latest project takes their distinct artwork out of the galleries and back into the digital realm. If you wanted to be a pretentious art snob you could describe it as “an interactive art piece which challenges traditional notions of public-focused iconoclasm against a backdrop of transpontine interventionist.” Alternatively, you could just call it an iPhone App.
FixPix has you tilting your iPhone (or iPad, or iPod Touch) to line up the finished images for massive win. It’s not exactly a game, more like an interactive art thing. The point is, you get 100 hand-drawn, beautifully crisp retro graphics to mess around with. And some wallpaper for your desktop.
Anyways, we figured that was as good excuse as any to go back through eBoy’s ten year plus back catalogue and be impressed all over again.
