| <nettime-ann> a parallel image - installation documentation now online |
. A PARALLEL IMAGEa new installation by Gebhard Sengmueller, in collaboration with Franz Buechinger
“A Parallel Image” is an electronic camera obscura. This media- archaeological, interactive sculpture is based on the fictive assumption that the currently still valid principle of electronically transmitting moving images, namely by breaking them down into single images and image lines, was never discovered. The result is an apparatus that attempts a highly elaborate parallel transmission of every single pixel from sender to receiver. This is only possible by connecting camera and monitor using about 2,500 cables. Unlike conventional electronic image transmission procedures, “A Parallel Image” is technologically completely transparent, conveying to the viewer a correspondence between real world and transmission that can be sensually experienced.
