Feral File<\/span> is pleased to announce g\u00e4mma, an exhibition of 33 unique artworks by generative artist p1xelfool, the gallery\u2019s first exhibition minted on Tezos.<\/p>\n

Curator kerry doran on the exhibition:<\/p>\n

\u201cPixels are the smallest element that can be displayed on a digital screen, groupings of which comprise the billions of still and moving images in circulation today. Pixels are not dissimilar to gamma rays, the shortest yet most powerful of the rays in the electromagnetic spectrum. The difference between them would seem to do with perception: gamma rays are invisible, pixels are not. However, both require specifically designed environments to engender visibility, such as a scintillation detector or a computer with a digital display. Because of the relative ubiquity of the latter, the specificity \u2014 and necessity \u2014 of the computer environment may be easily overlooked, if not forgotten, when perceiving pixels. The seduction of the screen, with its pixel-based representations, obfuscates the fusion of software and hardware that illuminate content: code and cold cathode. As p1xelfool says, \u2018Code = light.\u2019<\/p>\n

In g\u00e4mma, p1xelfool fuses pixels with light, with code. With such an emphasis on these materials and their visual properties, the works may seem formalist. Indeed, the generative compositions are strikingly geometric and inorganic; for those familiar with p1xelfool\u2019s larger body of work, those in g\u00e4mma may come across as austere in comparison. Yet these works are deeper than their surface. p1xelfool\u2019s approach is intent on reconnecting color and light with the computer environment to create engrossing sensorial experiences specific to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preview of the Artworks:<\/p>\n

The 33 unique artworks presented in g\u00e4mma are self-contained systems; each contains 3 seeds generated by the system, selected and arranged by the artist to comprise the final composition.<\/p>\n

p1xelfool conceptualized these works with Processing, its visual and responsive coding environment feeling more expressive to the artist than analog painting. The works are executed with p5.js, which allowed p1xelfool to program pixels in the browser in real-time. \u201cInstead of asking the program to draw lines, I asked it to manipulate the pixel arrays,\u201d he describes. This underscores the conceptual motivation of the project, namely, the reappropriation of pixels (and light and code) rather than the visuals produced by them. When viewing the work, there is the option to hit the \u201cP\u201d key to pause the pattern; hitting the \u201cS\u201d key will save and download the frame.<\/p>\n

p1xelfool\u2019s generative animations are inspired by the logic of particle systems, yet they share no reference to the natural world. The visual environments of the works are specific only to the computer. In each work, two superimposed and interrelated systems simultaneously interact with one another. Their interrelated velocities determine the speed at which blocks of interplaying (and playful) color seem to descend to the bottom of the screen, cycling through new patterns and creating the illusion of endlessness. Colors and patterns are rhythmic and vibrational; visual pleasure is immense and infinite.<\/p>\n
