Pixels is an interactive generative audiovisual installation for computer, video projector, sound system and kinect camera. It is inspired by Ryoji Ikeda’s work that tightly synchronizes visual and auditive impressions. It consists of a square projection of black and white pixels on the floor that lets the audience immerse in a digital memory space which is constantly rewritten with new pixel values.The pixel brightness of 4 sectors are scanned line by line and serve as audio samples for the 4 channels of sound. So,the sound and the visual output are the same data and lead to a synchronized aesthetic experience. Audio feedback between the sectors is used to establish order in a field of noise. The output varies between digital artefacts and organic impressions, between harsh, chaotic noise and more tonal organic sounds.
