Brix by Hehe

HeHe is a collective and a non-profit making organisation for production, founded in France by Helen Evans (United Kingdom, 1972) & Heiko Hansen (Germany, 1970).

Brix is a project composed of a wall of 'virtual' bricks and a camera that sees what is happening in front of the wall. When one puts a hand onto the active part of the installation (the eye of the camera), the surface reflects the image captured by the camera, in as many rectangular pixels. The image of the inter-actor slips onto the wall and after a few seconds, freezes as a photograph. Clever Brix, still under development, prefigures a new form of palimpsestual electronic architecture.
