Le Mega Pixel

A work by Konrad Loder that questions our relationship with images.

Artist Konrad Loder called on Nokinomo to create this interactive work, installed at the Télécom Saint-Étienne engineering school.

The project works as a vast technical device that questions the visitor: we often perceive the world through a screen, but is it faithful to reality?

In the school's hall, a satellite-like sculpture floats in mid-air. It carries a camera that films the scene below in real time, where floor markings delimit the students' path. Of the millions of pixels in the image, only the central one is kept. One face of the sculpture, a translucent hexagon, constantly takes on its colour. The satellite continuously transmits the characteristics of this pixel to another part of the work: the Mega Pixel.
