Description: Paint To Pixel is a Virtual Reality exhibition that charts the history of UK graffiti. It features interviews with prominent UK artists and personal photo archives that cover 6 decades of graffiti writing.

Review: ‘Paint To Pixel’ is an interactive app based around the graffiti art scene featuring several galleries of various artists’ work over the years as well as full narration from anonymous people about the graffiti scene in the UK (and its New York influence) as well as the criminalisation around it. If I am honest I found the whole thing very one-sided as it skipped over the criminal elements that is often associated with the art and try to make out as it is was all comply harmless and victimless.

I personally love street art and for me personally, it was interesting from start to finish and presented in a cool way with underground trains taking you to each gallery. When it comes to presentation this app is amazing and worth every penny, but then again it is only for fans of graffiti art and there are indeed some amazing things to see and hear. But it won’t be for everyone and it won’t win over anyone opposed to it. This is just one of those apps, you will either love it or hate it. I am in the love camp and highly recommend it mostly for all the stories the writers shared.
