digital street corner

“The DIGITAL Street Corner” is not the kind of artwork that one simply looks at on the wall of a gallery or a museum. It’s an interactive environment that one can enter and explore from anywhere in the world. It’s an open window to an artistic net/work co-created in real time by people on the Internet."  fredforest, www.webnetmuseum.org

the unworkable interface

"The notion of the interface becomes very important for example in the science of cybernetics, for it is the place where flesh meets metal or, in the case of systems theory, the interface is the place where information moves from one entity to another, from one node to another within the system. " Alexander Galloway, The Unworkable Interface

brainwave tracking

"A new headset system picks up electrical activity from the brain, as well as from facial muscles and other spots, and translates it into on-screen commands. This lets players vanquish villains not with a click, but with a thought." Anne Eisenberg, NYtimes

interactive graphics

"Apart from video-cutting... this typo-animation is triggered by slow-motion movement of a dancer. There we go, a hi-res version using pixel-motion frameblending for nice slow-motion of lisa. The letters are actually generated by a program i wrote in vvvv. You simply feed in some video and according to the amount of bright pixels it will generate the typo animation. The letters are taken from the words ‘Ballett Kiel’ and ‘Mario Schröder’ to have some sort of relation." Wirmachenbunt ( Chris Engler)

gravity and resistance

"The spatial expression of "gravity+resistance" is rendered consistently by the real time calculation of the dynamics. The dynamic movements are composed of the counter powers around gravity. Gravity is not materialized without the reaction force." sieko mikami

urban interface

Physical and immaterial interfaces
"Today’s city is a porous and dynamic terrain; the physical world constantly interfaces with the immaterial sphere of electronic and digital data which can easily and unobtrusively cross physical borders. At the same time, the complexity of the city and the widely undefined boundaries between private and public space create a variety of urban voids and grey areas calling for occupation and definition."
