Pixel
The tiny pixel that transforms data and information into images can be seen as a visual symbol of the Digital Era and Silicon Valley.
Artist Oleg Lobykin translated the pixel into sculptural form, an object with a twist. The stretched and twisted square fits a cube that creates a parabolic surface.
In polished stainless steel, just like a mirror, it reflects reality… to a degree. 90 degrees, to be specific: the reflection of the surroundings is inverted. Approaching the piece, viewers will notice their own reflection transforms from the 90-degree inversion back to a normal reflection without the shift, in just a few steps right in the front of the object. Moving forward and backward, they see a transformation of reflections. Observing shifting realities, the experience of interacting with Pixel would be surreal.
Pixel represents the connection between the digital world and our physical reality. It’s a transformation point between dimensions. The interplay of light, shadows, and reflections of nature or contemporary architecture in dynamic movement in bold geometric form will impact the space and challenge viewers’ perceptions.
