The pictogram_generator
based on a software program (HLX and JVSchmidt), that text information
transformes into a matrix of luminous elements, into characters,
structures, "images".
The "Word of the
Day" .......
from the Internet, which are filtered out of current daily news, form,
over a specific period collected, the basic material for the transformation
into the visual. They are transfomed into 400 pictograms arranged in a
20 x 20 matrix and, due to the superposition of different lighting times,
change their appearance permanently. The pictograms are reflekted on the
surface of a spherical mirror and are spreaded into the surrounding space.The
viewers in the room become projecting surfaces and are amidst an
universe of emerging and vanishing "Signs of the Times".
The pictogram_generator
allows associative access to information, that with rational means can
be detected only incomplete. This parallel walk in association areas could
be a promising approach in control of information overload.
