Langlee - Pixel-Aged

Langlee - Pixel-Aged from Lee Davitt on Vimeo.

Based on the deconstruction of video games in the 1970’s and their rise to popularity in the 1980’s, Pixel-Aged is a sociological paradigm of how the rise of home computing and video gaming came into fruition in this decade. This live performance aims to bring the viewer on a journey through time, starting with the most basic singular pixelated graphics and 1-bit sonic samples, and gradually move toward a more technologically advanced and digital age. This is done through the progressive introduction of visual movement and colour opacity, synthesizers and drum machines, fluxional graphics, colour mixing, and polyphonic voicing.
