See Brighter in the Dark with Pixel at Coachella

This weekend, Coachella festival-goers will wander the desert, heading to and from performances by some of their favorite artists. If you're one of them, head over to Brighter in the Dark—a tech and music installation we created with Childish Gambino.


The installation—a multisensory sight and sound experience that uses a mixture of light and music to give attendees a sneak peek into Childish Gambino’s creative world—uses the power of Pixel’s camera features to provide an interactive and Instagrammable moment for festival-goers.

Fans can also swing by Brighter in the Dark to get a sneak peek of Childish Gambino’s  augmented reality (AR) app that we’re previewing onsite at Coachella on Pixel 3. Not heading to Indio? Stay tuned for more info, as the AR app is coming to more devices soon!

Whether you’re bringing your Pixel with you to weekend one or weekend two, here are a few ways your camera can help you capture the beauty of the desert and the sights of Coachella.

Night Sight: Use Pixel’s low-light mode, Night Sight, to capture the best evening photos at Coachella, and experience the cool visuals at Brighter in the Dark.

Motion Auto Focus: Don’t let your dancing prevent you from taking amazing  photos! Your Pixel can be your mosh-pit companion—with Motion Auto Focus, videos and photos that you take of your favorite headliners will stay in focus, even while the performers are moving around the stage.

Group Selfie: Traveling in a pack to Coachella? Get your whole crew in the picture with Pixel 3’s wide angle selfie cam in Group Selfie mode.

Google Lens: Inspired by a fellow fan’s festival fashion? Use Lens with a long-press on the Camera’s viewfinder to search for similar items.
