Artists- Bengt Sjölén and Adam Somlai-Fischer

Bengt Sjölén and Adam Somlai-Fischer






















Aleph reorganizing vision, 2007, outdoor installation

Aleph is an experimental public display. Adam and Bengt built a matrix of small mirrors, which can adjust their tilt according to the site they are facing. Thus, they created a display that uses the changing flux of the place to show images from certain points in space. A computer is using cameras to continuously analyze the surroundings, implement interaction and distribute targeting information to a network of microcontrollers positioning the mirrors.

Bengt( b.1972) is a self-educated software and hardware designer. He currently collaborates all over europe on projects merging media art, technology and architecture experimenting with social and physical spaces.
