Rooted in the development of digital media, Tomasz Wlaźlak focuses on the digital design. He develops and edits his projections on a pixel level that was popular in the 1970s. In spite of the increasing technical development and visual qualities, pixel based imagery is still in use in art works and games spotlighting their unique esthetical qualities and combining them with contemporary techniques.

NARRACJE 2011 Work: Tableau Vivant

For the first time Tomasz Wlaźlak works with a large scale projection and a specific architectural environment. During one of the NARRACJE 2011 workshops he chose to project onto a blind wall of a residential building staging a juxtaposition of daily life and its fictitious representation in the digital media. In visual reference to kids’ toys as well as to pixel based art works he has created and animated a fictitious interior of the building. In a unique visual language he developed narratives of daily life in the various floors and living units following multiple storylines.
