The Dithering Experiments is an interactive art installation that reflects the viewer through digital image processing. Using a 32×32 LED matrix, the system captures the visitor’s face and reinterprets it in real time, allowing them to explore a variety of visual transformations based on dithering techniques. Through keyboard and mouse input, users can adjust parameters, patterns, and filter intensities, discovering how simple algorithms can produce radically different visual outcomes.
Originally conceived as a playful exploration of computational imaging, the project demonstrates how low resolution and color quantization can become expressive tools rather than limitations. The Dithering Experiments has the potential to evolve into an exhibition piece, a promotional tool, or even a guessing game. For now, it invites visitors to engage hands-on with video manipulation, turning digital processing into a fun, intuitive, and surprisingly poetic experience.
