Interactive 3D visualization Mumuth 3D is a commissioned work for the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (Graz) as part of their three years research project Choreography of Sound (CoS). The research project focuses on the spatial qualities in music, addressing in particular the domain of electroacoustic music. In Mumuth 3D I supported the research team to develop an interactive 3D environment, which resembles the György-Ligeti-Hall at MUMUTH (Haus für Musik und Musiktheater) in Graz. The goal of the project is to create a visualization tool of spatial music compositions and performances with a 3D Ambisonics sound projection system based on an array of 24 loudspeakers combined with a professional motion tracking system. ...

The Solar Wind Periscope is an artistic instrument visualizing atmospheric conditions that depend on space weather. It uses a radio receiver to measure HF radio signal range and relies upon a global network of amateur HAM-radio stations known as WSPRnet. It was developed for The Weather Tunnel Project at Translife Triennial 2011 and is part of an ongoing inquiry into weather beyond earth. The project was developed together with Lasse Scherffig More info at: pixelsix.net/swp ...

In the period 2008-2009 I was part of the Audiodome Playground research group at Animax Multimedia Theater in Bonn. The goal of the research was the development of playful and interactive environments for a front/floor projected stage with a spatial sound system. Through a marker based rigid body video tracking system the movement of a person on stage could be tracked and used for interaction with the projections. During my stay I developed a couple of small playful miniatures to determine the possibilities of the system. ...

Reaction Machine presented at the Profile Intermedia 2005 In the weekend from 09 - 11 december ‘05 my installation Reaction Machine was presented at the Profile Intermedia in Bremen, Germany. Profile intermedia is a international conference on the crossover in design, art, architecture, film, video, photography, digital media, sonic art, revolution, visual effects, music, fashion, protest and performance. Here some links of interesting artists and designers that presented their works: Boyle Family (GB) is a family of collaborative artists based in London. They uses all different kinds of media, like performances, film, sound, photography, drawing, assemblage, painting, sculbtures,… Michael Saup (GER) “Maybe on the other side of the World lies the answer to your own local situation” Wally Olins (GB) Andy Symanowski (GB) from Aardman, key animator of “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit” Troika Design Studio (GB/F/GER) is a multi-disciplinary art an design studio with a background in graphic and product design Olaf Arndt & Andrea Sick, TROIA (GER) about “Demons and non-lethal strategies”

Dat-a is an art installation made by me together with z25.org for ‚Soiree des Ateliers‘ at Huis aan de Werf, Utrecht Netherlands. Subject of the installation is Radio Frequency Identification chip (RFID) and the consequences when this new technology will be implemented in everyday life. With this installation z25.org is hoping to create a discussion about RFID and the influence of this technology on who we are. Central question is how do we experience our identity when our movement through space is continuously monitored and when this collected data about where we are and where we have been is used to make assumptions about who we are. All the receiving and sending devices were custom made by z25.org. ...

For the theatre play Ääärrgh! A Loss in Transl(oc)ation , together with z25.org I developed a textual VJ machine, the Text-Jockey. Instead of mixing images, Text-Jockey is an application with which live written text can be projected and manipulated in real-time. The application can also load and display animations and prewritten texts. Text-Jockey creates an interactive dialogue between the projection and the actors, by letting the projection itself become an actor of the play. ...
