Handmade in my living room, these Digital Canvases are living pieces of artwork. This simple concept allows artists to display their vision by locking the canvases together or configuring them separately. The canvases can display images, videos, generative code, or can be controlled by music sound-waves that control the animations.
Artists use canvases to deliver messages. The medium they use for those messages changes from paint too watercolor and so on. These Digital Canvases are focused on enabling artists to express their messaging through interlocking light blocks. The advantage is these blocks can be interchanged into any layout while delivering unlimited atmospheres through creative coding, imagery, video or sound.
We are in a time where taking photos and posting on social media are first intentions when viewing art. Trying to learn and understand what the artist's message is in his artwork has become an afterthought. My end goal was to create and deliver a living canvas that enables me to use the mobile interface as a way to translate my message.
Most viewers will see abstract patterns at first view, not realizing the patterns are actually the message. By looking through the interface of a mobile device the message will take shape through digital compression allowing the viewer to discover the artist's intention behind the work.
