Micol Assaël, ‘Nýidalur’ (2000)

The work Nýidalur is a permanent installation in a small town in Italy, S. Casciano dei Bagni. Micol Assaël measured all the holes in an old outdoor brick wall and covered them with transparent glass semi spheres.

‘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.
