Difference Engine #3
Lynn Hershman
Prix Ars Electronica 1999
Golden Nica "Interactive Art"
The "Difference Engine #3" uses the architecture of the ZKM Media Museum as a 3D template and the visitors to the museum as the interface. It is an inter active, multi-user, sculpture about surveillance, voyeurism, digital absorption and spiritual trans form ation of the body. The "Difference Engine #3" was inspired by Charles Babbage's original "Difference Engine #1" (commonly considered the world's first computer). The original machine was used to calculate numerical positions. This piece calculates the captured image and position in the physical/virtual space of visitors to a physical space, located now at the ZKM Media Museum.
