Join us for an audio-visual experience as Deleted Scenes celebrates the iconic technologies that have disappeared from our lives but have left a lasting mark on how we think, work, create, and play.
From global business leaders and pop-culture pioneers to everyday families, these innovations shaped generations and helped define the future in countless ways.
In 2026, we shine a spotlight on one of the most influential devices of all time: the Nintendo Game Boy. More than a handheld console, the Game Boy became a cultural phenomenon, transforming entertainment in the 1990s and demonstrating the power of portable technology to connect, inspire, and influence the world around us.
Through nostalgia, innovation, and artistic expression, Deleted Scenes explores the stories behind the technologies we once held in our hands and the enduring impact they continue to have on our culture today.
(Following the workshop delivered by 21 Pirates at Birmingham Art Gallery & Museum, a physical exhibition will be held at the Guildhall Walsall on the 02 November 2026. A Nintendo Game Boy shell was given to each artist to use as a canvas on which to produce a piece of art. Making a variety of displays for the exhibition, including music, dioramas, and illustrations.)
