The Aperture Interactive Display

If you were impressed with the high-tech Eyecandy Sound Lounge & Bar in Vegas, you may enjoy this Aperture Interactive Display which uses thousands of individual mechanical irises to create various images.

Created by Berlin interactive artists Gunnar Green and Frederic Eyl, this dynamic concept project reacts to light in front of it, therefore, the darker the object the wider the aperture will open (as you can see in the video below). Each of the apertures in the array can be used to represent a pixel of an image. This functioning prototype which I saw on Bornrich is currently being used to get a feel for what a large-scale aperture could look like.
