SWAROVSKY

Voyage of Discovery

Voyage of Discovery is an interactive presentation tool the Ars Electronica Futurelab developed as a means of staging an inspiring encounter with the Swarovski brand where I was responsible for the software development starting with the early prototypes until the final installation.
The room-size installation consists of an interactive table and eight wall projections. Thanks to the Anoto technology, every surface covered with Anoto code can become interactive and can participate into a creation of a multi-user environment: walls, tables, sheets and books become tangible interfaces where virtual objects can be passed from one support to the other.

AUDIOVERSUM EXHIBITION - INNSBRUCK

Zeitleiste – Cochlear implant history

For the company MED-EL, the interactive exhibition AUDIOVERSUM was conceptualized and realized in Innsbruck. This exhibition provides a unique insight to the topic of hearing. A number of varied, interactive exhibits invite the visitors to consciously engage in the world of hearing. The individual installations convey information about the ear in a playful and creative way and enable new perspectives of acoustic perception.
I have been involved from the very beginnning in the elaboration of the exhibition's concept as well as its associated researches. During the production phase, I have implemented the software of the installation Zeitleiste - a timeline shwowing the history of the cochlear implant.

METEC'S EVENT

Rotating displays

Held every four years, METEC is the world’s most important event in metallurgical technology. For METEC 2015, Ars Electronica Solutions designed the exhibition area for Primetals Technologies to convey information in an intuitive and playful way. Interactive walls, terminals, interactive tables and the central piece of the booth, made of 24 screens, in which 12 were rotating, were created for this event.

Together with my colleague Petros Kataras, we were responsible to develop the software part of the central piece of the booth.

SPY MUSEUM - BERLIN

Prolog – Espionage history media wall

Spy Museum Berlin is the city’s latest downtown highlight. Its opening in the World Capital of Espionage a good 25 years after the end of the Cold War shines a long-overdue light into the shadowy realm of secret agents. Ars Electronica Solutions has been involved in developing and producing a media concept for the entire facility. My work in this exhibition was to develop the code for the media wall showing the history of espionge from the Antiquity until the first world war. The wall is made out of 8 landscape screens and runs on three computers in parallel.

CARTOGRAPHIE - Art/Design-Sciences

Data visualisation

The website "Cartographie" is an interactive visualisation of journals that publish interdisciplinary research at the intersections of Art/Design with the Sciences (including Social Sciences) and the Humanities.
A tool for researchers, artists, educators, and students looking for references to find published materials close to their interdisciplinary interests and creative practices that inform their own work.

THE MUGHRABI QUARTER IN JERUSALEM

Website

The long and lively existence of the Mughrabi Quarter is almost unknown, especially to visitors to the Western Wall. The idea for the Mughrabi Quarter Virtual Archive was conceived in order to digitally reconstruct the destroyed neighborhood as the pilot project for a larger-scale digital mapping initiative, the Virtual Illés Relief Initiative.
