Scanner++
SCANNER++ is a device that creates a facsimile of the outside world. On the outside it looks like a copy machine. Joachim Blank and Karl Heinz Jeron have put together twelve conventional A4 format scanners to form a square comprising 4 x 3 devices and mounted them on a 40cm high metal frame. This is covered by twelve sheets of bullet-proof glass so that it may be walked on. The exhibition visitors may walk around on the installation, sit down on it or put objects on it. They assume the role of images to be copied and objects that the scanner registers at a low depth of focus and transforms into a digital representation.
