About Pixel Works
Pixel Works is an experiment in un-computing media art, defined as media art that does not utilize computer equipment. The most critical aspect of the installation process is the quality and quantity of practice—how one can physically perform digital technology—focusing on the inherent digitality within the human body. There is a realm concerning digital technology and its concepts that can only be addressed through analog work and the human body, and one of this project's primary objectives is to reflect on this aspect. In this work, the ideal condition is achieved when the traces of human hand labor disappear through the immense accumulation of them. The installation is realized through the various digital technologies that complement the manual process.
《Pixel Works》は、Un-computing media art(=コンピュータ機材なしのメディアアート)の試みである。制作過程で最も重要なことは、いかに身体でデジタル技術を演じられるかという実践の質と量であり、人間の身体がもともと内包しているデジタルに焦点を当てようとしている。デジタル技術やその概念について、アナログな作業や人間の生身の身体を通してのみ語り得る領域が存在する。それらについて省察を加えることがこのプロジェクトの大きな目標の一つである。この作品においては、手仕事の積み重ねの果てにその痕跡が消失してしまうことが理想の状態である。その道程を各種デジタル技術が補完することによってインスタレーションが成立している。
