About the project

PingOut was the first project made through the Urban Coding practice. While working in a Brussels pub, the idea emerged to map a Pong/Breakout hybrid directly onto the brick wall.

The wall is not treated as a neutral projection screen: bricks and architectural features become part of the level. The physical site therefore changes the rules of the digital game.
