Shift Register is an exploration of what emerges when constraint becomes a medium. Each work is a low-resolution LED panel driven by a small microcontroller, programmed to evolve patterns in real time—slowly, endlessly, without repetition.

The series forms a hand-built pattern language for light: an evolving syntax of rhythm, density, and drift. Within tight material limits—few pixels, little memory, fixed grids—each panel discovers its own idiom. The compositions unfold at a contemplative pace, where small variations carry weight and time becomes texture.

When shown together, the pieces operate like independent voices in a shared grammar—simple systems diverging, resonating, never aligning twice in the same way. Shift Register treats hardware and code as co-authors, exploring how mechanical constraint can give rise to quiet, expressive behavior.
