10 + 5 = God

10 + 5 = God. The power of signs" -- the title of the special exhibition in the Jewish Museum which commissioned ART+COM to produce the "floating.numbers" project.

The central element in this exhibition is a 9-metre long interactive table with a mass of numbers flowing in a continuum on its surface. Individual digits appear randomly at the surface of this stream of numbers and, once touched by a visitor, surrender their secret in text, pictures, films and animation.

The significance of the numbers materialises from the various perspectives of science, religion, art or one's outlook on everyday life.

A large-scale projection system and a touch-sensitive table surface form the elements of this media installation. Visitors' exploration of the world of numbers is a fascinating hands-on experience.

The project is a cooperation between ART+COM (concept and realisation) and Hürlimann + Lepp Ausstellungen (idea and content).

P.S. "08/15" is one of the hundred numbers explained in the exhibition. If something is "08/15", it is mass production and boring. This term, which originated in WW I, used to denote the first machine gun produced according to industrial standards.

"Flashlight Garden" - Interactive art by Zack Booth Simpson
