Game Meadow

For the Municipality of Utrecht, Arno Coenen designed a colorful mosaic measuring 62 by 8 meters for the Peltplantsoen in the Kanaleneiland district. This work, titled Game Meadow: Stage 2, serves as a visual bridge between the previously completed mosaic Virtual Fairytale 2.0 and the redesigned park. It is composed of elements from contemporary visual culture while simultaneously referencing the surrounding neighborhood.

The pixels of this digital landscape are made up of concrete tiles measuring 10×10 cm in no fewer than 19 different colors. A concrete terrace, initially considered an obstacle, was integrated into the design — allowing the entire composition to blend seamlessly into the square.

The work was curated, coordinated, and produced by Mothership, commissioned by the Municipality of Utrecht.
