A spatial interactive audiovisual installation exploring the relationship between optical rhythm, repetition, and audiovisual perception through modular analogue displays.
Created for the Zsolnay Light Festival 2026, the piece is tailored to the festival’s theme celebrating the 120th anniversary of Victor Vasarely’s birth, translating his optical art vocabulary of rhythm, repetition and geometric abstraction into a physical, kinetic medium.
A central 56×56 pixel panel is surrounded by six smaller square-shaped displays, forming interconnected visual and sonic structures. Across the differently sized modules, geometric forms pulse, scale, and transform along rhythmic patterns.
The mechanical and physical operation of the technology makes the fundamental units of digital image-making perceptible. Triggered by a joystick, the image appears as a sequence of clicking, vibrating, modular events, while the panels function as a kind of kinetic audiovisual instrument.
