Interactive Installation

BIG PRINTER raises awareness about the increasing disempowerment concerning the collection and storage of personal data.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

CAPTURING THE VISITORS


The installation was conceived in collaboration with schnellebuntebilder as part of the Goethe-Institut Pop Up Pavilion in Breslau in 2016.
During the installation the container became a symbol for the realm of our digital world: a supposedly transparent yet incomprehensible space in which every step and action is recorded and stored, regardless of our will.

Visitors who approached the container were immediately captured by a camera system and photographed without their consent. Each picture was then printed out and shredded. Even though the data might get erased, it prevails in the digital realm. Its intangible and inconspicuous nature becomes physical in this interactive installation.

We created a generative composition by amplifying and modulating the noises made by the printer and complemented it with sounds of distorted human speech. The result was a cold, machine-like musical landscape, emotionless and menacing.
