Ranjit Bhatnagar Creates a Playable Pixelated Violin
Francis Tiangson — February 25, 2011 — Art & Design
Ranjit Bhatnagar is an incredible creative mind that has crafted a playable violin with the aesthetics of old video games. The 8-bit look gives this string instrument a truly distinct and bizarre appearance.
If the original Super Mario game featured a violin, this Ranjit Bhatnagar piece is exactly what it would like. This incredible pixelated instrument is constructed out of maple and oak wood, giving the rigid structure a slightly natural look. It would be pretty sweet if Ranjit Bhatnagar made a whole collection of 8-bit instruments.
