Tape Recorders

"Tape Recorders" (2011) by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer from bitforms gallery on Vimeo.

"Rows of motorised measuring tapes record the amount of time that visitors stay in the installation. As a computerised tracking system detects the presence of a person, the closest measuring tape starts to project upwards. When the tape reaches around 3m high it crashes and recoils back."
