Gebhard Sengmüller
Posted by Fabio 20 January 2010
“A Parallel Image” is an electronic camera obscura created by Austrian artist Gebhard Sengmüller. 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. www.gebseng.com
