Maschinen by Niklas Roy

Saturday, 15 May, 2010

You might have seen Berlin based artist Niklas Roy’s work Pongmechanik before, an electro mechanical version of the video game pong. Last sunday his exhibition called Maschinen (machines) at Kunstraum Walcheturm in Zürich, Switzerland ended and if you, like myself, weren’t able to go, he prepared an interactive walkthrough of it. And his work is absolutely worth seeing.
