H3333333333K, 2015
The installation H3333333333K by !Mediengruppe Bitnik is an intervention in the architectonic structure of the façade, which has allowed a glitch – or visual software failure – to become an architectural construction. The glitch surfaces in places, where work is primarily carried out digitally. It is not just a reference to a tradition in electro music and the digital visual culture, but also an exploration of the motion pictures and the world of computer gaming. The glitch directly stands for a contemporary analysis of artistic production. It is a reflection upon the media, their storage infrastructures as well as their networks – also drawing attention to their underlying technological requirements. As architectural construct, the work alludes to the birth – through glitches – of a shift towards the digital and confers a surreal appearance to the building.
