Onde Pixel – Lo Sguardo di… Miguel Chevalier

The exhibition unveils a new installation created for the Pavilion by the French artist, a pioneer of virtual art, inspired by a number of contemporary works from the UniCredit Art Collection.

Onde Pixel features sumptuous, shape-shifting floor projections and kaleidoscopic patterns that allow the public to immerse themselves in it. Its fusion of colors, forms and music – composed by Jacopo Baboni Schilingi – are triggered by sensors that enables viewers to “inhabit” the work in a game of weights and measures, distance and proximity, becoming an integral part of the installation.

Onde Pixel features photographs, three-dimensional sculptures and movies on LCD screens, in line with Chevalier’s digital, interactive approach to art.
From the Pavilion Passarella dell’Arte (“Art Walkway”), visitors will be able to admire the installation as a digital carpet, watching it change as the public move over it, immersed in contemporary art.

“In this major digital installation, I wanted to explore some of the recurring themes in my work, such as the relationship between nature and artifice, the observation of the flows and networks that shape our contemporary society, the imaginary architecture and virtual cities, questioning our relationship with the world and with the art of twenty-first century ” said Chevelier.
