With an interest in connecting industrial automation with historical geology, Czech artist Prokop Bartonícek and German artist Benjamin Maus collaborated to create the Jller, an incredible kinetic machine that easily sorts random stones from a specific river by their geological age using pre-defined data ranges to guide the process. The machine also emits a very soothing incidental music as it goes about sorting, categorizing, selecting and placing the stones. Jller was presented as part of the Ignorance exhibition in Ex Post in Prague.
