Pixel Faces

Pixel Faces is the experimental project that investigates the perception of images and their chromatic decomposition in a flow of visual reworking in the digital world. The project, born in 2020, came to life in the form of an exhibition at the Festival of Science (2022, Settimo T.se) and returned among the special projects of Paratissima (2023, Turin). Pixel Faces outlines an immersive space in which reality and virtual, analog and digital coexist. Figures decomposed into colored square blocks, small portions of homogeneous backgrounds that seen from a distance let the original image appear in an experience enriched by the Instagram filter with which to digitize oneself and the possibility of projecting oneself into the Metaverse. The challenge for viewers is as entertaining as it is stimulating: in a world that we increasingly experience digitally, how many pixels does it take to recognize the icons, characters, and pictures that are the foundation of visual culture?
