GOPIXELYOURSELF GIVES EVERYONE THEIR 15 MINUTES OF FAME FROM CAMBRIDGESIDE
Interactive Selfie Museum Extends Boston Stay through June.
(Cambridge, MA – May 5, 2021) Rock the red carpet as the paparazzi snap your picture. Become an action movie star. Make your latest TikTok with a glam backdrop. This is just the beginning at GoPixelYourself, a pop-up ‘Instagrammable museum’ at CambridgeSide that has extended its stay through June with the rollback of covid restrictions! It’s the perfect way to ease out of the pandemic.
Boston was chosen as the world premiere location for the 13,000 square foot indoor amusement park produced by Parker 3D, a leader in worldwide digital video installations that has also done work and other brand statements for Dreamworks, Warner Brothers, Mall of the Emirates Dubai, Bloomingdale’s, Crayola Experience, and Sony throughout North America, Asia, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, including the original Blink light show at Faneuil Hall in 2008.
“We knew Boston was the perfect location for the first GoPixelYourself because it is a community of creative people who are looking for a little bit of fun in their lives after months of being at home,” said John Carter, Lead Designer and CEO of Parker 3D, and a former Bostonian. “I’m thrilled to bring this installation to my old stomping grounds, offering Bostonians a chance for a virtual escape in a fun, safe, environment that can be shared with friends and family via hilarious and audacious photos and videos.
