0,16 is a light installation which translates shadows into a pixelated image in real time. The translucent wall is divided into an array of open compartments 16x16cm. The front and back side of the wall is covered with transparent drawing paper. A third layer of the same paper is attached in the middle of each pixel box. A static head light in a distance of 10 meters lights up the wall in. The shadows of passing visitors are broken into squares and the uneven light distribution in a single compartment is mixed over three layers of paper into a homogeneous gray tone in the front. the actual resolution of the 'screen' is 0,16 ppi ( pixel per inch ).
