GAME OVER :D

I think using people as pixels is gaining popularity. There's a lot of youtube vids of Human LCD's. Recently, for the UAAP games, Jollibee staged a Pinoy Pride Human LCD display in the Araneta Coliseum.

This video however mixes People-Pixel art and stop-motion techniques. This was staged by Guillaume Reymond for his Game Over Project.



This giant game was played by 111 human pixels that has moved from seat to seat during more than 4 hours

From Reymond's Site:
GAME OVER is one of the art projects developed by the French-Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND (NOTsoNOISY creative agency). It consists of a series of collaborative animation movies which revive some of the very first video games. The pixels are replaced by a group of real human-beings that are moving from seat to seat in a theatre during about 4 to 6 hours. Each "pixel" has its own rules and decides what s/he wants to do for each picture. Once all these pictures are turned into a short animation movie, a giant human-scale video game unfolds "live".
