An invisible tunnel (upload/download, import/access) exists on the screen, which divides the direction of the signals into two. Each speckle of light is a perspective point based on the pixel signal; there is no near and far depth of field, no large or small dimension, and no field of view. Bits with values of 1 or 0 are infinitely repeated in a back-and-forth motion and form the realistic image presented.

Pixel and Star Cluster reconstructs the visuality involved with mechanical images via the concept of pixels. It is a site-specific series that I create by arranging fluorescent RGB color pixels, with numerous fluorescent light speckles shown together in the dark to form the self-illuminating screen image. The result is a “machine’s image” that wasn’t produced by an image-processing machine, so does it still considered as an image?

I attempted to present the production mechanisms behind the images by the power of human hands, creating an alternative reality to reinterpret and reassess their meaning when viewed.
