Project presentation

Project:

Pixel Motion is a dynamic, three‐dimensional toolset of bright spots of light playing on each and everyone's sensitive perception of light. It is shaped as a huge, stage‐size "table cloth » made of ‐luminous spots, deformable in space.

Each luminous spot can move very quickly or rather slowly within the range of a seven-meter vertical line. Under remote and real time control, Pixel Motion is the forerunner of a new type of this three-dimensional screen.

Project presentation

Technical aspects

A pixel is an autonomous light sphere wirelessly controlled.

A full set of pixels can be controlled by a user interface in order to create light effects .
