BITS BYTES AND PIXELS EXHIBITION // SHANGHAI

January 2007

Bits, Bytes & Pixels is the new project of Thomas Charveriat : he devised an original concept this year for the IFA Village Gallery, a “high technologies” exhibition. He dragged the Warehouse Team off to his new adventure: one full blast week in Island 6 and the team is still asking for more ! The IFA Village is a 600 sqm gallery in the heart of the Moganshan Gallery complex (the Shanghainese Soho) and it was a challenge to fill the HUGE! 600 sqm. The Warehouse Team focused on making the LED frames (already trained by the previous exhibition in Island 6, “I LOVE LED”), and the idea was to create various LED pieces of art sometimes blending media such as pictures or collage. The result was ten short videos transformed to LED screens. Resulting from the Warehouse Team’s imagina-tion mixed with Lucas’ know-how : from lollipops to a man touching his wife’s face, many different different ideas and short stories were created for all to see. This production was created together with the Island 6 and its tough staff: Allard van Hoorn, Alexandra Ver-haest, Longhai, Julie, and other artists. The result is a delirious and poetic mix. Warehousestudio has now enlarged its scope of activities to include art!!! Next step : the “Remote” exhibition at the MOCA. To be continued…
