When Technology Meets Magic: A Tribute to Pixel Pusher’s Blog on Look@ Selfie Sculptures
At Look@, our mission has always been to blend cutting-edge technology with unforgettable experiences. But nothing compares to hearing someone else describe the joy our creations bring. That’s exactly what happened when Pixel Pusher shared their experience using our Selfie Sculpture at the historic Klis Fortress in Croatia. Their blog, filled with humor, honesty, and admiration, resonated deeply with our team. So, we’re dedicating this post not just to celebrate their words but also to reflect on how impactful thoughtful design can be.

“Somebody spent time on this.”
This line from the blog captures the very essence of our journey. Every curve of the sculpture, every line of code, and every feature was crafted with one goal: to make technology feel effortless. As Pixel Pusher writes:
“There’s a lot of love that goes into making anything (especially technology) so simple to use. I’m sure there were plenty of opportunities to cut corners to meet whatever deadline they had, but it didn’t feel like they took any.”
Reading this reminded us of the late nights and countless iterations we endured to ensure every user interaction feels intuitive and joyful. We’ve always believed that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, and it’s rewarding to see this recognized by someone who experienced it firsthand.
“None of the usual nonsense… It just worked.”
In a world full of clunky interfaces and tedious user flows, simplicity is a luxury. Pixel Pusher’s breakdown of how our sculpture works made us smile because it’s exactly what we strive for:
“You scan the QR code. You stand in front of the camera. The tower gives you a preview and a countdown. The tower takes the photo. The tower sends the photo to your phone. That was it!”
Hearing someone appreciate the seamless functionality we worked so hard to achieve is like music to our ears. It’s proof that our commitment to UI and UX design wasn’t just worth it—it’s what sets us apart.
“This is the way.”
Their enthusiastic nod to our technology, humorously referencing pop culture, perfectly sums up what we’ve always hoped to achieve. It’s not just about creating a product; it’s about creating something that makes people pause and smile—even in the middle of a hot, humid day at a 2,000-year-old fortress.
“So yes — this self-powered, QR code-activated, remote camera booth filled me with so much joy that it made me irrationally happy.”
Moments like these remind us why we do what we do.
A Call to Connection
Pixel Pusher ends their post with a bittersweet note, believing we might no longer be around. But here we are, alive, thriving, and deeply moved by their words.
“I’m hoping they see this and know that their products are still making an impact — even on top of a 2000-year-old fortress.”
We hear you, Pixel Pusher, and we’re here to stay. Your blog is a testament to the impact of thoughtful design and human connection. It’s proof that technology, when done right, can bridge time, geography, and even humidity levels to create lasting memories.
To the Future
This blog isn’t just about celebrating Pixel Pusher’s words—it’s about celebrating the power of recognition, simplicity, and connection. To everyone who’s ever scanned a QR code on one of our sculptures, smiled in front of the camera, and shared their joy with the world: thank you.
Here’s to more smiles, more milestones, and more stories like this one.
Bravo, Pixel Pusher. Bravo to all of you. Together, we’re proving that this is the way.
