Elastic Fax I

Frames from Elastic Fax I, 1991, 5min56sec

Elastic Fax I, created by Eduardo Kac, was realized at the Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1991. Artists worldwide were invited to transmit sequences of images to form a self-editing faxfilm. Sequences were added automatically and edited into the film in the order received. The entire 30-meter (99 feet) roll of thermal fax paper was used uncut and displayed in one piece on a wall at the Museum. As viewers walked by this telematic scroll, they became a moving projector, thus animating the faxfim strip.
