Liquid Pixels 2008 is a new monumental installation by Miguel Chevalier shown during the "Bain Numériques" Festival in Enghien. Through this installation, the artist has “re-covered” the façade of public church St Joseph, with a skin of pixels which evolves according to the spectators’moving. In this work, the viewer becomes virtually the artist. Thanks to sensors placed in the public space. They create trails of painting and virtual calligraphy made up of coloured textures which evolve on the façade. The use of colours, movement, as well as the shapes of the images in Liquid Pixels remind the "drippings" of Jackson Pollock. In their interaction with the work, viewers are also literally transformed in "action painters". By combining virtual body art and digital painting, this work offers to the spectator a new experience of his body in the public space.
