Interlaced Stool

The design of the “Interlaced Stool” is influenced by the beauty of failure of a complex television technique. “Interlaced video“ is a technology developed in the late 1920´s to reduce the flicker of analog television by doubling the frame rate without consuming extra bandwidth. Because each frame is composed of two fields that are captured at different moments in time, motion artefacts known as “interlacing effects” or “combing” will be displayed if the recorded object is moving fast enough so that each field captures the object in a different position.
