What is it?

PiXil provides a real opportunity to engage with communities as well as providing an open platform for communities to entertain and inform themselves.

By installing and administering a network of screens connected to a central server where content is managed and distributed to the relevant end-users PiXil can speak to people on their home ground and in their own language.

PiXil grew out of demand from people producing digital content with no dedicated means of distribution. In 2003 ProMo-Cymru launched the Golden Pixil awards, supported by the WDA Golden Pixil awarded excellence in independent digital media production. We were overwhelmed with excellent work from people working completely apart from the media industry all desperate to present their work to a wider audience as well as work produced by community projects, schools and colleges.
