Erwin Redl - Matrix || - Inspiration

"Using LEDs as an artistic medium, working in both two- and three-dimensions, his works redefine interior and exterior spaces by exploring architectural volumes. In 2007, MCASD acquired Redl's seminal, room-size installation, MATRIX II, for its collection. Floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall, the work fills the gallery space with a grid of phosphor green LEDs, creating a visual web of light. Since 1997, Redl has investigated the term 'reverse engineering' by translating the abstract aesthetic language of virtual reality and 3-D computer modeling into a physical architectural environment by means of large-scale light installations. His projects, which range from installations, CD-ROMs, drawings, Internet and sound pieces are assembled according to a narrow set of self-imposed rules inspired by computer code that often incorporate algorithms and controlled randomness. The pure light emitted by the tiny electronic LED components Redl uses in his pieces become the perfect medium to transfer the mental space of abstraction into sensual architectural installations."
