Floris Neusüss
The Latticed Window, Lacock Abbey
Knowing of the resonance of the place, and the philosophical implications of the window image, Neusüss covered the interior of the window with photographic paper at night. He exposed the paper by shining a light from outside. The resulting photogram recreates the subject of Talbot’s negative.
Ernst Chladni
Was one of the pioneers of experimental acoustics. His research on different kinds of vibrations served as the basis for the scientific understanding of sound that later emerged in the 19th century.

known for his radical approach to the medium. Much of his work is undertaken without the aid of a camera, aperture, or film, being instead produced through a combination of photogrammic, abrasive, and incisive techniques.

Silver Loop – B&W 16mm Film, Looped
MATERIAL LIGHT is an exhibition of comtemporary and historical works which examine the material nature of the photographic image.
Now Light, where it exists, can exert an action, and, in certain circumstances, does exert one sufficient to cause changes in material bodies.

Sunburn
In this process the sun burns its path onto the light sensitive negative….
The resulting negative literally has a burnt hole in it with the landscape in complete reversal.

The installation references a form of communication that has almost been consigned to oblivion: the use of a mirror and sunlight to exchange information over long distances.
H3333333K !Mediengruppe Bitnik
For H3333333K !Mediengruppe Bitnik translate a digital image error, a glitch, onto the façade of the museum «House of Electronic Arts Basel» (HeK). Applied directly onto the architecture of the building, the glitch misaligns the elements of the façade, bringing disturbance to an otherwise settled structure.
Large-scale Image Memorability
LaMem is an attempt to predict the memorability of an image.
This work demonstrates that one can now robustly estimate the memorability of images from many different classes, positioning memorability and deep memorability features as prime candidates to estimate the utility of information for cognitive systems.

Descriptive Camera
The basic premise is that you take a photo and the camera spits out a textual description of what it sees. The technology at the core of the Descriptive Camera is Amazon’s Mechanical Turk API.

Trinity Cube (2015)
Irradiated broken glass collected from inside the Fukushima Exclusion Zone forms the outer layer of this sculpture. The work’s inner core is made out of Trinitite, the mineral created on July 16, 1945 when the United States exploded the world’s first atomic bomb near Alamogordo, New Mexico, heating the desert’s surface to the point where it turned surface sand into a greenish glass.

The invisible shape of things past
Joachim Sauter & Dirk Lüsebrink
The Invisible Shapes of Things Past are parametric translations of movies into space. Single frames from a film sequence are lined up in space, according to the camera movement with which they were shot. Through this translation of single frames consisting of single pixels (picture elements) into space, objects of voxels (volume elements) are generated.
