Tmema, The Manual Input Workstation (2004-2006)

The Manual Input Workstation is an interactive installation by Tmema (Golan Levin and Zachary Lieberman). Interactions take place on a combination of custom interactive software, an analog overhead projector, and a digital computer video projector. The analog and digital projectors are aligned such that their projections overlap, resulting in an unusual quality of hybridized, dynamic light.

This documentary collection was compiled by Katja Kwastek while the piece was being shown as part of the exhibition See This Sound (Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz, Austria):
