Mood Pinball
11 February, 2022 - 18 February, 2022


Mood Pinball by Ben Neal, Edie Jo Murray & Harmeet Chagger-Khan (2019-2020)
A digital artwork located in Broadway‘s main entrance foyer. Playable daily from 12noon until close. Presented by Near Now, Broadway’s studio for arts, design and innovation.
Mood Pinball playfully re-imagines how city-wide data could be used by an individual, or explored by playing a game.
The artwork, presented as a highly stylised pinball game, has a synthesised dataset buried deep in the heart of the code. It’s a dreamy illustration of how data might inform everyday decisions that affect the well-being of real people.
