Together with Roel Wouters, Erik Borra and Vincent Lindeboom, I designed and built a physical installation, wich behold the website for W 139: The WEX machine.
Quote Xelor:
“The WEX Machine has two different faces: a physical installation within W139 itself, and virtually on the web. These two faces are intertwined. Installation The installation consists of a table with a touch screen or projection, a silver ball, a paper notebook and a printer. A digital camera is suspended over the table taking pictures of the installation at regular intervals.”
The whole idea is based on the memex, which was seen decades later as a pioneering concept for the World Wide Web.
The website’s background will always show the most recent picture taken. On the projection site at the installation the website will feature the archive.
The WEX Machine is a project by Roel Wouters & Erik Borra, a Vincent Lindeboom production, developed together with the staff members of W139 and Rene Bakker.
The WEX machine is permanently installed in W139: An exhibition and production house for contemporary art @ Warmoesstraat 139, Amsterdam. Open whole day, every day..
