Most screens apologize for existing when they're off. This one doesn't turn off — it changes its mind.
Bonito is eaten in its own skin — grilled, never filleted into something that hides what it looked like. B-012 is the same idea: the surface is the thing.
The print and the pixels share one physical plane.
A baffle doesn't block a wave. It decides what happens to it on the way through.
Same skin, same fish — B-0125 is Bonito's lineage in a form built to sit between you and the light.
Baffle is the role. The artist fills it.
First edition for Baffle (B-0125) — Nicolas Sassoon
Liquid Tiles prints geometric blue-line compositions directly onto the panel — visible as a static pattern when off, and activated by RGB animation and moiré effects when on. The same surface reads as an inert object and a luminous one, depending only on whether it's running. Sassoon's work has explored this dormant/active duality for years; Baffle (B-0125) is where it becomes architectural.
Nicolas Sassoon (b. 1981, Marseille) works at the intersection of early computer imaging, moiré, and architectural pattern; his work has been shown internationally, including the Whitney Museum and Centre Pompidou.
Off is a pattern. On is the same pattern, awake.
