From Rhizome Artbase
How can a word appear or disappear? You can open and close a book; you can use a pencil and an eraser; you can use a keyboard or touch a screen. How about if you move your hand in front of an art piece? If you do so, a feast of red letters will glow to form a poem. “Desparecen Primero las Palabras” combines 160 infrared sensors and 160 alphanumeric LED displays to generate an interactive poem.
Work created by Thomas Charveriat and Miriam Lloréns. Poem by Nicole d'Amonville Alegría. WATCH THE VIDEO.
