10.19.11PubPlatesIt´s been a long while no posting here. This has a few reasons, mainly one is that i had so much to do with the SMSlingshot project, a record cover and the whole appearance of a fashion label so that I didn´t found the time to update my website. Ahh yes, and there is a little family i love and try to find time to share with them, and my students I will help learning the rocket science of industrial design. Forgot something... yes, hanging out with the guys and doing simply nothing comes to schedule aswell. So to keep the ...

07.07.11Fusion Workshop revisitedBack from this rough week, first Grenoble, then Kiel, after that suicide commando towards spare time utopia fusionfestival I find some time to put up some impressions of the DIY VJ workshop. We had the luck to catch at least some hours of no rain to set up our van as a makeshift canvas and the overheads and slideshow projectors. A lot of people stopped by to try their luck in creating rotated and shifted interferences. Some also started to experiment heavily with the stuff we brought, such as waterbowls, oils, liquids and different foils, grids, and of course our ...

06.30.11Waiting for the night (to fall)Just a few quick impressions of our SMSlingshot performance in Grenoble. PLAY-IN is such a recommendable small, familiar, beautiful and stress-less digital public media festival: UNBELIEVABLE. Such a warm and professional athmosphere. We´ve been showcasing the SMSlingshot alongside projects by Cran (so poetic) and WECOMEINPEACE, who had set up a perfect pubic kinect hack. All our massive thanks go out to Mathias Perrette who was keeping all strings in hand, Toma, Claire, Raf, Pauline, Chloe, Yannis, Amèl... the whole Narkolepsy crew! See you soon!

10.16.10SMSlingshot in ViennaLast week the VR/urban team was invited by Amnesty International to show the SMSlingshot at the Museumsquartier in Vienna. The occasion (Day of death penalty) was less delectable than the fact that a lot of people haved used their voice against capital punishment and death by right. We used background illustrations for the first time to better trigger a discourse in front of the facade and by this on the facade. There are also videos available: here and here.

09.29.10SMSlingshot at MediaLab PradoWe are back from a short but very intense and inspiring trip from Madrid. We had the opportunityto show the SMSlingshot during the white nights festival at the MediaLab Prado. It was the first time we used the new graphic engine and a LED facade as hardware. What to say?! It worked out very smoothly, no problems and the people enjoyed the performance very much. By far the best message that have been shot during the whole project. Thanks madrid, espacially carles, daniel, monica and nerea for making it possible!

08.31.10Back from BrazilWOW. I´m back from brazil since three weeks but thats the first day I really get into reflecting and posting about FILE festival and the SMSlingshot project in Brazil. First: it was an amazing trip. We met so many new friends and saw even more interesting projects from all over the world that it´s hard to list everyone. FILE festival especially the awarded projects and the exhibited pieces at FIESP/SESI theatre are worth talking about. You can get the full report at the InterfaceBlog by Form+Zweck. It´s so much, that it might take while to cover all the projects. FILE festival was ...
