The PingPongPixel is an interactive system of information depiction that totally dispenses with light as a medium. In the installation, each individual pixel is replaced by a ping-pong ball. On a 2x3-meter “screen,” 8,100 ping-pong balls depict images in various shades of gray. The images are fed in via MMS or digital camera. The installation’s low-speed performance is meant to constitute a counterpoint that the artists intentionally juxtapose to extreme user-oriented technologies.
