Enlarged Faces! : )

This is something that I found on designboom.com and I thought it wold be something that you guys would  enjoy. When I first found it, I thought to myself this is super cool to have you face blown up on a side of a building for people to see. Take a look and tell me what you think! 


'kopf kino' is an amplification object left in public spaces to be negotiated and appropriated by city dwellers. Developed by berlin-based artist collective 'on/off, the device itself is constructed from a modified shopping cart filled with borrowed car batteries, a projector and computer held in place with cable ties, all of these internal components masked by a monolithic cardboard skin.

devised as something to be wheeled around a city, the installation is left without any instruction in various locations, inviting passersby to investigate the inner workings and actual function of 'kopf kino'. the element that sparks some curiosity is the small camera lens which projects out of the top of the machine, in which people gravitate towards, looking in to see if they are able to find some kind of indication of what it actually does. as they interact with it, they realize that their actions are being amplified 10x,enlarged onto the façades of surrounding buildings, turning 'kopf kino' into a kind of 'adhoc' stage, allowing groups to temporarily take over public space, transforming them into urban performers without the restrictions of prescribed interactions.
