Frank Fietzek: Wheelchair

Frank Fietzek

Wheelchair, 2000

This piece is an electrical wheelchair to which several technical enhancements have been attached. (Video camera, laptop, sensors, controls).

The wheelchair moves slowly down the tracks of a toy racing car track which is installed along the floor. The attached video camera films the symbols that have been put along the dividing line of the road and the computer decodes them to a readable text on the monitor.

This piece was presented in December 2000 as part of the exhibit "Operational Tests" at Kampnagel, Hamburg.
