Entering the black box

In his second photo book, documentary photographer and psychologist Jos Jansen investigates the mystic nature of high-tech research. He gained access to the High Tech Campus Eindhoven, an 'open' but still heavily guarded world, in which he explored the relationship between people and technology. Jansen focuses in particular on three important aspects of modern scientific research: scale, complexity and abstraction. In an associative manner, he shows fragments of a world which is simultaneously alienating, fascinating and unfathomable.
