Measuring Kraftwerk

I went to the contemporary graphic art fair Pick Me Up at Somerset House when I was in London in March.  Stefanie Posavec's project Measuring Kraftwerk caught my attention since Kraftwerk is my favourite band.  Posavec took the cassette tape of Kraftwerk's 1981 album Computer World and built a poster of a winding maze, which, when travelled, represents the exact length of tape needed to record the album.  I like Posavec's clever idea of making time and sound tangible.
