Quick’n dirty:
Similar Diversity is being exhibited at the c.stem in Turin/Italy. C.stem is “an event devoted to the exploration of the applications of electronic systems in cultural and artistic fields”. I’ll be there from Friday until Sunday, if you want to talk nerdy to me, don’t hesitate getting in contact.

The VVVV community has been very active in the last weeks, what led to some great Modules and Shaders. It will take some time to play around with all this new stuff.

Yes, we’re little proud today! The current issue of the Eye Magazine, number 65, features our Similar Diversity project. More and better pictures soon at SimilarDiversity.net

Thanks again to Andreas for the very nice and successful cooperation!

The IAA is already over for this year, but it’s still worth writing some lines about the impressive Mercedes Benz hall.
Heart of this completely modified hall was the “Carwalk” – a huge (50×15m) LED surface on the floor, where the silver cars were placed on. It was partly fed with interactive content by VVVV, realized by Atelier Markgraph and meso.
The whole atmosphere of the hall was really stunning, also because of a perfect combination of all components like light, interior design and moving images. But the total costs must be beyond my imagination…

Also remarkable was the presentation of Mini, where the Pfadfinderei did livevisuals for the complete duration.
Respect :)

Tonight opens our exhibition from the workshop with Stefan Sagmeister at the Hangar-7, Salzburg.
Thanks to everyone for the hard and excellent work!

I did a project together with Andreas Koller: Similar Diversity. First details and pictures are online at similardiversity.net – more coming soon!
To see the huge print (6,2m wide!) and more great work, visit the Hangar until June 26th. The entrance is free.

The picture above is from tobi, and is showing steff.

Moving Brands and Chris O’Shea (blog) created an impressive installation for the launch of new KEF speakers. A 10×5 m LED screen was set up in the Sala del Cenacolo in Milan, which reacts to the given audio signal in a very organic way. The way the animation behaves fits the speaker’s design perfectly – and especially the reflections in the object itself are awesome!

Yeah, just design and let bees do the work. Interesting project by Tomas Gabzdil Libertiny/Droog Design, and a really nice review by EveryoneForever:

“To me this process is quite similar in approach to generative design where one defines an initial condition (here a vase shaped hive) and decides on a set of design rules (here encoded in the form of the bees’ predictable behaviour) to evolve and/or manipulate the initial input. Then the actual design process begins by applying the design rules iteratively… This project is a very clever transposition of these concepts into a new domain! Bravo!”

Nice concept! By sdesignunit.
