4D-PIXEL is a smart wall that dynamically reacts to your voice and music through a fusion of electromagnetics, software, and electronics.

4D-Pixel

4D-PIXEL is a smart wall that merges electromagnetics, software, and electronics to create an interactive experience.

The innovative sculpture reacts to your voice and music, displaying 3D letters that dance across its surface. Composed of hundreds of responsive pixels, it dynamically interacts with sound, establishing a direct connection between human activity and the wall’s visual appearance, blending body and machine.

The driving force behind 4D-PIXEL is the belief that architectural space should be a living, interactive entity. By using 'interaction' as a foundational building material, 4D-PIXEL redefines our engagement with surroundings. Its intelligent software and electromagnetic technology allow the wall to respond in real-time to sounds, making the space feel alive and responsive.

As a responsive surface, 4D-PIXEL constantly evolves, its beauty shaped by visitors' behavior. Each interaction changes the wall’s form, reflecting new inputs from the environment. This transformation highlights the fluid relationship between people and space, demonstrating the potential of integrating advanced technology into architecture to create adaptive environments.

2005, Enschede + Rotterdam, NL. Electronics, software, solenoids, and other media; 300x100x200 cm (LxWxH).

Created by Daan Roosegaarde and his team at AKI Enschede and Saxion Enschede, in collaboration with KITT Engineering. Self-commissioned by Daan Roosegaarde with the support of Stichting TART, Axis & Stuifmeel, and Architectuurcentrum Twente.
