Form Reasoning

Reasoning behind the form of the pixel is mainly function, the core is the main component of the pixel and is the central powerhouse containing the circuitry and all the technology. The reason that is the core is a sphere is the aerodynamics which allows the pixel to flow through the air creating less drag. The leg strands inspired by the legs of a dandelion seed which help the seed to float and adhere to different surfaces help the pixel to attach to buildings and other pixels to form shelters. The long slender strands help the pixels to securely interlock with other pixels to form a dense surface and create a rigid shelter. Furthermore the stands act similar to fibre optic wire in that the tips light up at night time to create a bio-luminescent sceptical.
