Scanner++

Joachim Blank and Karl Heinz Jeron's “Scanner++” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 1999, category Interactive Art.

SCANNER++ is a device that creates a facsimile of the outside world. On the outside it looks like a copy machine. Joachim Blank and Karl Heinz Jeron have put together twelve conventional A4 format scanners to form a square comprising 4 x 3 devices and mounted them on a 40cm high metal frame.
