Knock me !

Knock me ! is an interactive and graphic installation that shows a dynamic display system inspired by Trivision billboards. When activated, the system presents a graphic play between 4 images that succeed each other, mix and complement each other. This installation is part of the graphic research work carried out by the duo who seek to reveal the mechanical origin of the images while exploring alternative creation processes. With this in mind, the artists lift the (not so heavy) cover of our printing systems and display devices to examine their core and better understand them. The final goal is to re-enchant usage in a conscious, active and creative way that repairs and transforms our connection as designers with the tools, but also transforms the nature of the produced image, and therefore our graphic productions. The display system was designed with recycled cardboard tubes that were collected from local printing works. It questions the limits of the graphic medium and integrates technique as a reflective material into the creation process. Passersby are invited to interact with the window by tapping on the glass, a vibration sensor then activates the installation to exhibit the display system that reveals the choreography of the graphic rollers. Since there is no knowledge without sharing it, a video shows the different stages in the creation process of the system.
