portfolio our service

We are a creative agency with a distinct technical background. We believe that facts and ideas are easier to realize and remember if one can visually dive into them and play around with them. Thus, we make the message of our customers come alive in interactive audio-visual installations and applications. We realize interactive exhibits for trade fairs and museums, combining hardware from our modular catalogue of technical components with custom-tailored software solutions. Our multimedia installations are designed to meet the particular comunicational needs of our customers. With a highly qualified network of suppliers and professionals we provide a full service including programming, 3D content, interface and interaction design and a reliable project management - everything from one source.

We have wide experience with 360째 projections in geodesic domes.

beamer #4

Depending on the dome size, such a full-dome projection can be implemented with either one high performance projector and a wide-angle lens or through a special setup of a number of projectors whose projections precisely overlay each other along the edges (Soft-Edging).

The hemispheric dome shape is perfect for letting the visitor truly dive into the shown digital content. With the help of haptic interfaces visitors are able to interact with the surrounding content. The intuitive design of the interfaces allows their immediate and playful use. In the year of 2009, we have realized two full-dome installations: KREATIV MAL PI QUADRAT @ DMY 2009 iLAND @ Ostrale, Dresden 2009

VIDEO iLand Ostrale Festival, Dresden

iLand was an interactive installation that we realized together with the Ostrale Festival for Contemporary Arts, Dresden, 2009. The installation was a playful parody of the world wide web. Visitors entered a virtual, flying island drifting through the internet among others - all of them connected by tubes. The had to deal with topics like data spam, trojan viruses, illegal downloads and censorship attempts.

VIDEO iLand Ostrale Festival, Dresden interactive terminals With 5 different haptic interfaces, visitors could discover and manipulate this world. Any small action had great effects on the environment - in real-time.

VIDEO iLand Ostrale Festival, Dresden interactive terminals

With a little joypad visitors could navigate a trojan virus through virtual space and spy out the other islands.

With a large wooden wheel visitors were able to steer a pirate cruiser and catch illegal downloads and other files falling from the sky.

With two large levers, visitors had the power over freedom of information on iLand. They were asked to achieve a balance between personal curiosity and national censorship, with their own hands.

With one large buzzer, one could easily cause a spam volcano to erupt. The cleaning of iLandâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s sky instead took the hard work of turning a scratchy broom wheel. Here visitors could tweet their comments into the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s ear and see the little buddy deliver them all over the vast internet.

iLand was conceived as a virtual playground between irony and understanding, between observation and experience.

This design competition was dedicated to the creative work with the organic structure of geodesic domes.

22quadarat (Bremen) won the competition for the domeâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s outside design with organic patterns of coloured rings. We adopted this concept for an animated and interactive 360Â° projection in the inside of the dome.

At 2 intuitive interaction terminals visitors could play around with those patterns. At one terminal they changed drift and colour of the rings. At the other one, they could throw in little pallets, which appeared hovering above them in the virtual sky as three-dimensional letters. Skillful users even arranged them to words. Their flight direction could be controlled by turning a ring around the throw-in hole.

VIDEO Idol Task - Celebrity Showcase CYNETART#13 - Festival

Two dancers in the centre of the room were surrounded by projections on both sides, the back and the floor. The dancers symbolized pop stars - the IDOLS - which were basically operated and controlled by the audience. At 6 different haptic interfaces visitors could simulate to be different stakeholders of the pop business and define the performanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s progress and ending. Everything - even non-interaction - had an influence on the IDOLSâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC; popularity and state of health.

VIDEO Idol Task - Celebrity Showcase CYNETART#13 - Festival interactive terminals

Here visitors could publish positive or negative headlines about the IDOLS.

The physical pressure on the button controlled the psychological pressure on the IDOLS. As a result, the music and the dancers‘ movements became faster and more hectic.

Visitors could choose from three bowls what kind of doping material they wanted the IDOLS to take and throw these in with their own hands: uppers, downers, vitamins.

With this turntable-like terminal, visitors could change the IDOLS‘ style and zeitgeist in time. While visuals and sound changed immediately and in time, the transitions of the choreography seamless smooth and showed how easy it is to change a star‘s image, after all.

With a plastic post-it note the next life situation of the IDOLS could be chosen.
