Interactive computer simulation of the exhibition space. Visitors were able to use a Spacemouse mounted on a column interactively, and could move in any direction they wished in the virtual space created by the computer. If they came close to the pictures placed there, the images underwent a transformation. The original painting first broke down into coarse pixels and then into the picture's data in the form of ASCII code.

 Alba D'Urbano
«Esposizione Impraticabile»

The starting-point for this work is an exhibition of images that is not «practicable,» not accessible.
In the version called «In Vitro» for the Institut für Neue Medien (INM) in Frankfurt/M., the institute's rooms, techniques and reproduction resources were included in the show. Visitors could move through the different rooms as if they were going through the various stages of a prescribed route. Alongside the closed exhibition space, which had a remote-controlled camera at its centre, media representations of the pictures that could not be experienced directly could be seen. The ground plan of the Institut für Neue Medien (INM) shows the various exhibition rooms or studios.
