the WEX machine

 
year: 2009 |  medium: website / installation  

In collaboration with Erik Borra.

A new website for W139, an Amsterdam-based exhibition and production space for contemporary art.

The WEX Machine is a table that is photographed from top every 5 min. The photograph is automatically published on the front page of W139. This allows visitors and staff members from the W139 to easily and instantly publish their thoughts, wishes or announcements to the web.

The WEX Machine is a project by Roel Wouters & Erik Borra, a Vincent Lindeboom production, developed together with the staff members of W139 and Rene Bakker. Thanks to Hidde Meulenbeek for GUI detailing and graphic design assistance, Van Tetterode Glasobjekten, Daan Meijer. Thank you!, Florian Cramer for the talk at the opening.
