The grid of the fly screen responds to the pixel grid of the TV screen.

Colour is the main focus of this work. Although I usually tend to use minimal colour in my works, this work does not feel out of place, because instead of adding colour, the work displays colours extracted from its material (pixels).

I didn't expect the colours to show up so well. I only discovered it when I zoomed in on my camera monitor to check if my photo was focused.

​

I experimented with different colours, by just leaving the TV on with the mesh draped over, but white (because it uses maximum red, green and blue light), produced the best results. This is why I chose to have a plain white background.

(Another experiment I could have done now I think of it, is to have the gradient colour spectrum as the background to the mesh.)

 

Also, I think the colours showed up worked particularly well, because of the closeness of size between the TV pixels and the mesh grid. I think this because the mesh had no effect on my mac screen, which has much smaller pixels.
