Display caption
'Opposite Circle' belongs to a potentially vast body of work entitled the '133651 Series'. This piece consists of thirty light emitting diode (LED) units. Each unit is a row of ten two-digit counters which count upwards repeatedly from nothing to ninety-nine. Within a unit, up to five counters may be wired to any of the remaining ones, allowing a total of 133,651 combinations. The artist has assigned a serial number to each possible configuration. Every configuration whose serial number is divisible by seven is made with green rather than red diodes. Miyajima uses electronic counters not for measurement but as metaphorical devices through which he suggests dialogue, harmony and structure within a universal context.
