Sjang Niederwieser

Kerkrade, 1988

Designer & 3D print fanatic.
Student at Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design.

Material and technology are central to his design process. He likes to research and experiment with materials to come to a special product. For Sjang Niederwieser, there must be a balance between the material and the way in which it is formed into a product.

"PixelXL", 2019

PixelXL is a mirror installation that invites people to take a selfie/photo. The installation plays with layering, colour, light and the environment. The pixels are enlarged, filtered, and extruded, creating a fragmented and pimped self-image that is #instagrammable, filter 2.0. The installation is a reflection of how people profile themselves on social media. What do you show of yourself? What is real and what is not real? PixelXL provides an image of yourself with and without a filter, who you are, and how you want the environment to see you.
