This massive multi-coloured mosaic is sophisticated in part by being low res. In a high definition world, what you might ask could possibly be good about low resolutions? Lower than the first ever digital photograph taken in 1957? Well, ask its creator - Felipe Prado and he will urge to scan back to that time in your mind, when you were four. And the electricity went off and you and your mother and father sat making shadow puppets on walls. Shape before form.
The Picto Sender machine is a ginormous sized romantic idea. You are invited to stand in front of this machine made up of 1200 enlarged pixels, that form digital hieroglyphs.
You move in front of the pixels and record a short message to send out into the universe. It's that simple and that much fun. You do crazy hand and leg movements, put your right leg in and shake it all about, without much thought. Walk Like An Egyptian anyone? It was a popular song in the 1980s that went like this: 'All the old paintings on the tomb, they do the sand dance, don't you know?' And scores of people imitated the video, walking like Egyptians.
