Type case - Installation

The installation "Type Case" is a low-resolution display with 125 rectangular pixels of different sizes. These are formed from the reflecting light of digitally controlled LEDs, embedded in each section of a European printers' type case. Due to the standardized fragmentation of its compartments, the density of visual information is decreased towards the objects' centre. Viewed close by, it is nearly impossible to recognize more than a flicker – however after moving some distance away, it becomes distinguishable, that the lights and shadows give a representation of the latest headlines.

Tree of Codes - Jonathan Safran Foer

Imagine a book—in this case the 1934 novel The Street of Crocodiles, a surrealistic set of linked stories by the Polish Holocaust victim Bruno Schulz—whose pages have been cut out to form a latticework of words. The result is a new, much shorter story and a paper sculpture, a remarkable piece of inert, unclickable technology: the anti-Kindle. Reading it is a little like going through an FBI document full of blacked-out passages, except that the excised portions are now holes through which you get glimpses of subsequent text. The format slows your eye down (though it helps if you slightly lift the page you’re on), but the book is so brief that it can still be read in half an hour. 

The book is as much a sculptural object as it is a work of masterful storytelling: here is an “enormous last day of life” that looks like it feels.

Autofacebook

Everyday I would like to share with the world how I feel.
Autofacebook is an application to generate a synaesthetic representation of my mood (everyday I could be a colorful circle, square or triangle on a background). 
This is my way to be present on a "voyeuristic" social network.

Hand Crafted Paper Animations for Star Alliance

In an effort to preserve the places they fly to, the airline Star Alliance have donated seats to scientists and field workers to destinations all around the world. The National Geographic Channel has produced a showcase on Star Alliance’s efforts for five specific destinations, and commissioned Andersen M Studio to create stop motion paper films to represent each location. The films produced are stunning, and truly show there are no limitations to what you can do with a sheet of paper, or in this case, two flight tickets. Each paper sculpture comes to life revealing a literal depiction of the destination through paper.
