Fotoelectric effects in bottles

lab award 2009

The installation is a system of self-producing images, which, although it is able to function self-sufficiently for a certain time-span, nevertheless needs new external energy at certain intervals, in order to keep functioning. At the entrance the viewer gets a box of matches and the recommendation to light one of them inside the dark room. The viewer will hear the light of the match as whistling and crackling sounds. Simultaneously a video projector projects geometric pictures onto the floor and the glass-containers. Light-reflections appear on the walls and the ceiling.
