Pixiness

Culture, arts and heritage Leisure activities Architecture Outdoor Downtown

Part of the Luminous Pathway at the Quartier des Spectacles, this permanent artistic oeuvre, commissioned by the SAT, is a prototype conceived by the internationally renowned visual artist, Axel Morgenthaler. Using a system of technological shutters measuring 3.6 m high and 18 m wide, PIXINESS comprises 12 motorized prisms displaying a mirrored surface on one side and a luminous interface of giant, dome-shaped pixels on the other. Combining architecture, light, and interactivity, the artwork is a one-of-a-kind intelligent lighting installation.
