Progression of 8 Perverted Pixels, 2008
7 DMX modules, 1 Black Box module, plexiglass, aluminum, DMX cables, RGB lightning system, DMX controller
Starting out from a regular cubic pixel – a signature formal element of Angela Bulloch’s artistic language, which she has used widely in the past, in various different ways – the series of interconnected objects unfolds as a strange perversion of this basic element. The progression gradually transforms the regular cube into a complex irregular polyhedron. The cube as the supposed end result of modernist strategies of formal reduction and purification appears to undergo a reversed complication.
