PXLs Collective Demands a Refund for 2020 with 'Reso2020' Action
The Italian art group PXLs has introduced 'Reso2020,' a digital art initiative aimed at collectively reclaiming the year 2020 in light of the pandemic. Individuals can submit refund requests at reso2020.com, which will be transformed into a digital artwork accessible through augmented reality using the Aria app. The project includes 297 exclusive typographic posters showcased throughout the streets of Milan, funded by crowdfunding and poster sales. Additionally, PXLs plans to establish a 'colorful mile' linking the city center to its outskirts, in partnership with Comunità del Reso and Terzo Paesaggio. This effort is part of 'Il miglio delle farfalle,' which focuses on enhancing Corso Lodi's livability by planting flowers that attract butterflies.
