Raummaschine: Exploring the Manifold Spaces - Paperback

by Sabine Hansmann (Editor), Finn Geipel (Editor)

Launched in 2016, the Raummaschine--a kinetic installation of 384 motor-driven hanging ball chains which move as visitors manipulate a touchpad--took space and movement as starting points for exploring the manifold relations between body, space and architecture. This book provides an account of the design project and introduces the theoretical discussions surrounding it, including contributions from the fields of architecture, art history, sociology and design.
