A Parallel Image
an installation by Gebhard Sengmüller, in collaboration with Franz Büchinger, supported by Fels-Multiprint
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.

kaiban42 you mean the practical applications..

True, You're right, but can you imagine how much this could be improved upon? If it were done using tri-color LEDs with strategically placed image dissectors pointed in the opposite direction you could achieve superb Camouflage. It wouldn't be perfect, but it would be far superior to simple painted-on camo

Except that you'd only see an image of the light and shadow that's falling on the topside—not what lies beyond.

Ah! Aircraft with an invisible underside...

It's, it's a series of wires!

Nice, creative.

Wow, I have to say, that must have taken a long time to hook up. How many hours went into the magnet wire connection alone? I am assuming its one wire per bulb with a common ground or hot, right?

not sure about the practical implications, but still pretty cool.
