Miyajima Tatsuo 宮島達男
Region No. 43701–No. 43900
1998
Miyajima Tatsuo’s work engages with technology, expressing ideas and emotions through networks of lights, numbers, and wires. Shown in total darkness, Region 200 is composed of two hundred LED devices on black aluminium panels, programmed by the artist and arranged in twenty columns. Each LED counter contains a sequence of numbers in red and green, and every seventh counter flashes green. Region 200 offers multiple possible interpretations and proposes an aesthetic reading of the contemporary digitally saturated world. Miyajima seeks to condense spirituality into numbers—1 through 9 represent a cycle of life—and changing light, encouraging the viewer to reflect on the relationship between technical artefacts and life itself.
