More about A Pair of Voxel Sèvres Vases, 2017
voxel (ˈvɒksəl) A voxel represents a single sample, or data point, on a regularly spaced, three-dimensional grid. It can be thought of a 3-dimensional pixel. 'The starting point for the Voxel-Sèvres vessel was my exploration of museums via the Google Art Project. It allows the viewer to float through galleries, and zoom in on anything that catches our fancy. Why join the queues when you can navigate through the empty galleries from the comfort of your armchair? It is an extraordinary technical achievement, a very useful tool, but it’s not the real thing, you can’t smell the oil paint and you can’t quite walk all the way round the sculptures. It is a 2D representation of the real world. The Voxel-Sèvres vessel explores the relationship between the actual world of real objects and the virtual world of digital technology.
