»1982« (2000) is an installation of light and sound at the subway station Gerdesiaweg/Rotterdam. The existing illumination is transformed into a light organ. The lights respond disco-like to the music playing over the intercom. This music consists of hits from 1982, the year the station was built. The replacement of the entire interior is also the end of this installation, which is meant as an ode to the year of the station’s construction.
»GIF Museum« (2006) is a pocketmovie for mobile phones constructed from a collection of found GIF’s. Both works by Peter Vink.
»Punch Printers« is installed at BueroFriedrich in Berlin, which is situated in the arches of a bridge, supporting a series of train rails leading into the city. This set of printers takes the vibration of the trains as an input source, each interpreting the behaviour slightly differently resulting in various punch patterns. The punches are created by a solenoid with a sharp pin, controlled via a stamp producing various speeds of punch. In sound, this results in odd phasing and circulatory motions within the space. By James Beckett.
The picture of two trains moving in opposite directions is exposed to the continuing process of digital compression. By first importing and then exporting the material of five seconds length into the software, the information of the footage is diminished step by step until the formerly concrete image vanishes into white. “Import/Export” by Wolfgang Bittner and Florian Kindlinger.
“Terrain”, a large matrix of 225 electro-mechanical actuators conform a projection surface to match a 3d image/dataset in real-time. Video.
Train is a hyper-narrative that takes place on the physical layout of an HO scale model railroad. Controlled via cell phones, viewers guide the trains around the track, picking up passengers along the way. Video. Works by John Klima.
