Shirtless Others

interactive poem visualization

Shirtless Others is a poem written by Jason Ockert. The born magazine asked me to visualize a poem poem of Jasons. The poem is about a man caught in a dead relationship. While being on a vacation trip with his girl fiend he realizes how fare and disconnected he is from her and how unable to change his situation. The visualization tries to provide a an generic beach situation turning in an nightmare while processing through the story of the poem. To process the story the user has to cut the belly of the shark in the middle of the scene. The approach was to create an interactive and immersive experience which transports the mood and feelings of Jasons poem.

20 Jahre Mauerfall in Berlin

exploring the falling of the Berlin wall

For the 20th annual of the fall of the berlin wall the Berliner Morgenpost launched an application to provide several informations about this event. The application was created by the Berlin design agency Einhorn Solutions. I've had the chance to add some ideas and knowledge to this project. To give the users a realistic experience of this time, we rebuild different place of the Berlin wall, as a 3D Model in papervision. This enables the visitors to have an immersive experience of that time and compare those place with the current state.

5 years designerlist

visualization of on year

For the 5th annual of the designer list (mail distributor of the FHP) we created different visualizations based on the data base. The goal of my approach was to show when and how fast emails were answered, in addition all emails of a weekday were shown in a 24-hours-time strip. The replies are shown by an arc to the origin mail. To show the answer delay about one day, 48 hours are visualized.

NERDscape

mapping german interactiondesign

NERDscape is a geographical visualisation of the internet platform nerdmade (still at work). German universities, which deal with interaction design, are shown by their projects, as a kind of sculpture. The position of the sculpture is directed to the geographical location within Germany. At nerdmade the discipline (physical computing, generative visualisation and screenbased interfaces) and the motivation are positioned in triangles. These qualities were taken over to nerdscape. The discipline is shown about a sphere which is connected to the center line. The motivation appears as a extension of the triangle. Both qualities creates a univerity sculture. Every project can be looked by a detail view of the univerity.

Urban illustrations

Illustrations for urban interventions

In the class "urban interventions" we should design small interventions for the urbane life. Every idea was visualised with a video-prototype. For the style of the prototypes we chose a mixture of real film in combination with illustrations of the important scenes. My illustrations was embedded and animated in the film by Tobias Friese with AfterEffects .

The godengine was a small installation. The motivation was just playfil, playing with the tracking abilies of processing. Also involvend in the project were Christopher Warnow, Tobias Friese and Johannes Tonollo.

Light Cubes

portions of light

The LightCubes deal with the everyday problem of controling light. The case of switching on and off the light seems to be simple, but in the real sens this action is a very abstract prozess. The LightCubes make light haptic by combining the switch with the luminary, by adding or removing cubes the brightness in- or decreases. Since a cube has six sides we added a color attribute to each side. Depending on the top facing side yellow, red, green, blue or brightness is added to the group. The siced side is the off switch turning on cube off, shuts down the hole group. The projects was a cooperation with Johannes Tonollo.

Narratives 2.0

visualising music

Narratives 2.0 allows people to experience music in a visual way. Therefor the frequencies of a music piece are analyzed frame by frame. The frequencies are laid out fan like, symbolizing the growth of music building up to the main theme. The increase the emphasize of significant patterns of the music a highlight was added. The goal of the visualization was not to create a deconstructabel code. The established system should rather enable the music to become a visual artist by itself, creating an aesthetic response to it's music.
