Illuminating Perception: "Quickly Photographed and Released Unharmed" at Bright Festival

In the heart of Brussels, from February 15th to 18th 2024, the Bright Festival showcases a mesmerizing installation that challenges the traditional boundaries of art and digital media. Quickly Photographed and Released Unharmed, created by the visionary artist Pandelis Diamantides, illuminates the Art & History Museum with its thought-provoking display, supported by the Deputy Ministry of Culture of Cyprus.

This unique piece stands as a testament to the potential of digital art to engage and transform. Diamantides' work explores the overstimulated tapestry of our visual environment, offering a direct experience that transcends mere observation. The installation employs the screen not as a canvas for representation but as a vibrant source of light, inviting after-images through a rapid succession of colors and illumination.

Quickly Photographed and Released Unharmed explores the intricate dance between light patterns perceived by the eye and the visual content presented on the screen. This interaction not only captivates the viewer but also integrates them into the artwork, blurring the lines between observer and creator. The installation leverages the neural mechanisms of visual perception, crafting an experience where the viewer plays an active role in the creation of the art.

This piece is part of a broader collection of generative audiovisual artworks by Diamantides, reflecting an ongoing investigation into the non-representational use of screens. The collection critiques our visually saturated environment, using the screen as a tool to influence the viewer's perception and processing of new information.

As part of our commitment to showcasing groundbreaking digital art, Sedition is proud to feature Quickly Photographed and Released Unharmed in our collection. This piece not only represents the forefront of digital artistry but also embodies the innovative spirit that drives our platform.

We invite our audience to explore this captivating work on Sedition, where the fusion of light, color, and perception opens new horizons in digital art. As we continue to celebrate the creative exploration of our artists, we look forward to bringing more transformative experiences to our community.
