36 electro-mechanical elements
52.2×14×20 cm
Digits is composed of several electro-mechanical elements called ‘7-segment display’ and usually used to display numbers and a limited set of characters. They are used to display petrol prices at gas stations or wherever a numerical display is needed.
The elements are white on a black background for maximal contrast and readability without the need to emit light. The whole digit is slightly tilted giving each blade a unique and interesting form. In the installation the individual blades of each digit are programmed and produce waves of horizontal back-and-forth motion. Powerful solenoids activate the lightweight blades producing a heavy sound. The elements have industrial quality and lack of any ornament.
