Every Subpixel Matters

  • Junichiro Horikawa
  • Taro Yumiba
  • Sonoka Sagara

An exhibition "Every Subpixel Matters" by Junichiro Horikawa, Taro Yumiba, and Sonoka Sagara will be held from October 5th, Thursday to 9th, Monday at CONTRAST. On computer LCD monitors, each pixel is composed of 3 sub-pixels, which are minute units of red, green, and blue (RGB). Until the macOS 10.13 High Sierra version, when pre-retina displays were the norm, this sub-pixel-based text display format was used. This technique optimizes the display of text and graphics on low-resolution displays by using minute color changes. However, with advances in display technology in newer operating systems and the advent of Retina-resolution screens, the technique is rarely considered anymore. This exhibition explores new visual expressions of text from both digital and physical perspectives while re-accelerating the past technology of sub-pixels and the preoccupation with the detail of the pixel. Please enjoy the new way of perceiving letters and colors through the expression of 3D cubes with multi-layered color overlaps and multiple perspectives.

About CONTRAST
In 2022, CONTRAST opened as a creative space in Yoyogi-Hachiman, Tokyo. The interior, based on a 45-year-old structure, consists of three floors under the concept of "reconstruction," and is managed by IN FOCUS, a digital branding studio that operates under the theme of "We propose new perspectives through a collective pursuit of digital excellence.". The space not only serves as its own creative space but also aims to be widely open to the public, providing a space for continuous and experimental reconstruction by its users, breaking free from limitations. Focusing on various forms of expression and encountering the creators who produce them, we will come to understand the importance of "CONTRAST = comparison" in our endeavors.
