“Hello, world!” is a real installation for the virtual globe of the software Google Earth. A Semacode measuring 160 x 160 meters was mown into a wheat field near the town of Ilmenau in the Land Thuringia. The code consists of 18 x 18 bright and dark squares producing decoded the phrase “Hello, world!”. The project was realized in May 2006 and photographs were taken of it during a picture flight in the following month. | |||

Jörg Brinkmann: Flugversuch
Bachelorthesis der Professur Gestaltung medialer Umgebungen Winter 2009
This Experiment took its start from the intention to come closer to the machine. I wanted to figure out if there would be a different feeling when a machine is added to my body.
Would I myself become a machine ?
Would the machine become human ? Would the two of us band together and become something else ?
After some experiments with an ECG sensor, which I used for measuring my muscle tension, I got the idea of building mechanical wings that would be controlled by my muscle tension. This is a mechanism similar to the principle of a prosthesis. Since my project was not about replacing a missing body part (the usual function of a prosthesis) but rather about adding something to the body, the term prosthesis didn't work in this context. This project was also not about building something that would have a special function or serve an exact purpose. So my intention was obviously not to take wing. This experiment was rather seen as a possibility to experience the machine. The video shows this experience: as you can see, constant and measured body movements create a steady movement of the wings. So I have to conduct myself like a machine in order to achieve a synchronization. On the other hand, random movements let the machine break out and create an unpredictable life of its own.
