Create your own 8-bit-style animations, pictures, and effects on a square pixel display with bits of code the size of a text message. Manipulate pixels, import photos, plot functions, make silly memes, and explore generative art. Inspired by classic home computers and modern text-messaging apps, PixelNote gives you a 101x101, 256-color canvas which you control from a one-line command input field. PixelNote defines its own, compact, unique programming language, designed for compactness, experimentation, and challenge. PixelNote comes with a set of examples to get you started, along with a full built-in reference guide to the language. Start with an example and modify it, or build your own; play around, try different things, see how they look. As you work, PixelNote keeps a history, so you can revisit your old code. Have fun!

Human perception has long been influenced by technological breakthroughs. An intimate mediation of technology lies in between our direct perceptions. By simulating our Hyperallergenic perceptual machine, this project defamiliarizes and questions the habitual ways in which we interpret, operate, and understand the visual world intervened by digital media.
