ALMMOLSITN (and let my message of love shine into the night) Is an interactive art work proposed for public media facades. Participants claim single pixels from the display as their own private, colourful, morse code, message board. Shown here is a mock up of the proposed installation for the facade at Medialab Prado
ALMMOLSITN invites participants to send their messages of undying love to the display along with the coordinates of their chosen pixel. That pixel then transmits their message in morse code in a loop until the end of the festival. Active pixels are selected at random and translated on the top panel of the facade. At the beginning of the festival, the entire screen will be black and over the course of days the screen will be taken over, pixel by pixel, by messages strobing in morse in rainbow colours.
background concept
media facades are used as carriers of messages, often commercial sometimes artistic but almost always explicit. ALMMOLSITN exploits the structure of the screen by breaking down the illusion of wholeness and celebrating in the liberation of tiny agents. Pixels which were previously in service to the whole now, with the help of lovers, find their voice.
