“This is a scarf I knitted based on a sample of the The Amen Break. I took an image of the waveform of the amen break and converted it into a knitting pattern, which I uploaded onto a hacked knitting machine. The knitting pattern repeats over and over the same way that the amen break sample gets looped in so many musical compositions.”

“Tape Recorders” (2011) by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
“Rows of motorised measuring tapes record the amount of time that visitors stay in the installation. As a computerised tracking system detects the presence of a person, the closest measuring tape starts to project upwards. When the tape reaches around 3m high it crashes and recoils back. Each hour, the system prints the total number of minutes spent by the sum of all visitors.”
Commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

Parking Ticket Machine: An Anatomy
“Each of these pay-and-display parking ticket machines costs in the region of US$11000, and there are more than 1200 of them around Copenhagen - and all they do is print little slips of paper to allow people to park their cars. An extreme example of “magnificent bits of infrastructure just lying around”.
