Nanshan Art Museum Facade

admin — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:57:45 +0000

In collaboration with Szövetség 39 and Gábor Papp, we have developed a conception for a unique facade design to be installed on the facade of Nanshan Art Museum in Shenzhen, China.

The idea behind it is that the graphical output is generated by sound. We are about to compose a mix out of art-historically relevant pieces of music, talks, poems and sound art samples. The audio source builds the input for our software that transfers it into vector based graphics.The graphical output is divided into segments and will be printed on laminating foil to be applied on the glass panels. The production of the project is planned for 2010.

Aether Posters / New Trends Of Architecture

tszakal — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:18:44 +0000

We have designed 3 posters that present current projects of Aether Architecture at the exhibition series New Trends of Architecture starting in Tokyo and running across the globe in 2009.

Within this framework we developed a piece of software that generates a vector-based chart directly from a Google Spreadsheet which is used to show current relationships between projects, collaborators and the time spent on the work (see images below).

Reactable

We have been asked for writing and adapting a piece of a flash based software using the reactable platform and for designing the table itself for an interactive installation.

Lazydrone

This application is made for freelancers who want to track how much time they spend on specific projects. We always had a feeling that we usually spend too much time with certain projects. In the absence of exact numbers we never knew if it’s true or not. After researching for existing task tracking software we realized there is no perfect application for our needs. We have been using lazydrone since April 2008 and we are satisfied. We think if it fits to us, it will fit to many other freelancers. Why not try? It’s free.

The installation is a satellite-controlled kinetic sculpture which consists of six equal robotic arms each pointed in the direction of a different GPS satellite orbiting above us. As soon as a new satellite rises above the horizon a corresponding arm follows path until it disappears again beyond the next horizon. The result is a kinetic sculpture continually changing its shape with the slowness of a clock hand portraying the artificial constellation of celestial objects speeding 14000 km/hour at an altitude of 20000 km. Their orbital paths viewed from a different point on the globe leave a different imprint, therefore the movement of the robot at each exhibit location is distinct.
