Medium: Installation/Mixed Media
Concept / Idea:
PIX is an interactive light installation that reflects the audience’s hand movements through a grid of ultra–low-resolution LEDs. Each participant becomes a painter moving through a field of glowing pixels, where every gesture, motion, and posture is translated into abstract light patterns.
Instead of offering clarity, the work embraces ambiguity — the image is intentionally minimal and difficult to decipher. Viewers must slow down, move carefully, and observe subtle changes in colour and rhythm to interpret their own creations. This intentional limitation of resolution transforms the act of looking into an act of discovery, questioning how perception, attention, and technology mediate our understanding of creativity under limitation.
PIX invites playful exploration and mindfulness within a digital space — reminding us that even in a world of high-definition immediacy, mystery and imagination still live between the pixels.
Inspiration / Context:
PIX was inspired by the tension between visibility and invisibility in the digital age. In a world obsessed with higher resolution, clarity, and instant communication, I became curious about what happens when we move in the opposite direction — when technology becomes less defined and perception becomes uncertain.
The low-resolution LED grid became a metaphor for how we are seen, interpreted, and sometimes misunderstood through digital systems. The idea of movement emerged as a playful yet critical symbol — silent, quick, and unseen — reflecting how our behaviors are constantly tracked, yet often only partially perceived by the digital world around us.
Artist Statement:
Through PIX, I explore the relationship between human behavior, perception, and digital abstraction. My practice often centers on interaction — creating systems where people become both observers and performers. In this work, the low fidelity of the LED display challenges the audience to slow down and engage with ambiguity. Their movements are translated into shifting blocks of light, transforming motion into a poetic code of visibility.
The piece resists the perfection of high-definition media and instead celebrates imperfection, mystery, and imagination. It is an invitation to see technology not as a mirror of accuracy, but as a medium of interpretation — where meaning emerges not from precision, but from the spaces that exist between the pixels.
