4D-Pixel

4D-PIXEL is a smart wall that physically reacts to your voice and music and displays 3D letters. This interactive sculpture is a merging of electromagnetics, software and electronics. The dynamic of the 4D-PIXEL wall is made of hundreds of pixels which react to the dynamics in sound frequencies. This way there is a direct relation between human activity and the appearance of the surface; in this fusion between body and machine.

The sense that architectural space is more than a collage of construction elements combined with a desire to use 'interaction' as a basic building material drives the 4D-PIXEL wall. Developed as a responsive smart surface based on intelligent software and electromagnetic technology, the wall reacts physically to voice and sound. Its beauty is determined by the behaviour of the visitor, its shapes constantly evolving, reflecting new input collected from its immediate environment.
