A journey through the writings of the world

This generative installation, composed of two superimposed LED matrices, rises 6 metres above the street. Its two pixelated grids form a double ceiling, revealing a chromatic and pointillist creation whose various colour levels blend in the viewer’s retina. Inspired by the research of artist Fred Sapey-Triomphe on writing characters and digital colour harmonies, Unicode Haïku Extension is a playful and poetic work that offers viewers an immersive and colourful journey through the world’s different scripts using light.
