Pixel Single is a square light pulsating in white, of 30cm wide hung on the wall or from the ceiling, like a light box. It blinks, at a human speed, that is at 240bpm (4 times the heart beat), which is also a musical rhythm. The Morse code that it uses is designed to be readable by humans and carries the desire to communicate. The message is insisting, but unknown.
Pixel Single is fully embodied in a desperate quest : to reproduce itself by sending to the world in Morse code its own source code, which is it DNA, in the hope that someone will decode it and finally clone it, fullfilling its deep nature of information destined to be duplicated. But it is alone, a single machine, with light as its sole mean of communication.
Created for the exhibition "Being Machine" at @centredartleseglises in Chelles (FR) in 2021. An exhibition reflecting on a world where machines are freed from human enslavement.
