Wurmloch

Interactive installation

A wormhole [Wurmloch] is a hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime and is based on Einsteins field equations. The name wormhole comes from the analogy with a worm eating through an apple. It thus connects two sides of the same space with a tunnel. This illustrates the characteristic of connecting two places in the universe.
When using vacuum cleaners at public car washes, material besides dust and dirt often accidentally get into the suction of the vacuum cleaner. Schulzek‘s idea of the project was to search for money in the vacuum cleaner bags until 60€ were collected, to buy a used self-service vacuum cleaner. The purchased vacuum cleaner was modified so that after inserting 50 cents, a text appears on a display describing the procedure.
