Xavier Ho, Stephen Krol: Infinite Colours

Artist(s):

Title:

Infinite Colours

Exhibition:

SIGGRAPH Asia 2023: Art Gallery: In Unruly Times

Artist Statement:

“Infinite Colours” brings 2,499 videogame titles into a slow canvas of accumulative light. Each game adds a unique shape and colour onto the canvas and plays a unique string of notes. Over 8 hours, the canvas will be filled with infinite colours to celebrate LGBTQIA+ independent videogames.
History has always been queer. Through this generative visual and sound work, we aim to demonstrate the collective activism, movement, and creative expressions that queer folks are making to be visible, heard, and to say that we are here.
But queer movement does not happen overnight; queer resistance is accumulative and built over generations of selfsacrifice and self-acceptance. The multitude intersectionality of the unruly times slowly bleeds colour into the world, blends motion into the landscape, and accumulatively becomes a canvas of evermoving colourful light.
