vienna boys choir – interactive sound installation

Designing and programming a floor keyboard that plays voices of the Vienna Boys’ choir

The idea was to trigger the voices of the boys and classical audio tracks by using an interactive keyboard lying on the floor. This was the task in designing the hardware, due the difficult location of the very crowded Gare Saint Lazare subway station in Paris it had to be very robust.

tyrolia – adrenalin

With aws designteam, building an AT freeride binding, rock solid; The AT-Binding was presented at the ispo-munich 2012 and the SIA 2012 in Denver/Colorado

unibail-rodamco|scs – interactive directory

The shopping mall „Shopping City Süd“ located south of Vienna had to provide interactive shop finding terminals to their customers, makeing shopping experience more convenient. The competition for this project was won by design agency Strukt. I was asked to participate in the project and contribute the hardware design.

The debate about copy(right) and inspiration has gone public, discussion happens in blogs and postings. Is there a mere possibility for designers, flooded by images through various media, to avoid “subconscious influences” ? We putted Ernstl and Iris(recent furniture designs/prototypes), up to public discussion. Public blog comments and critics, where milled into relevant details of the prototypes creating a “reference directory”.

Iris – folding table

prototype of a folding table, aluminium(anodized) – wood

sx – tyrolia skibinding

with aws designteam, building a complete modular system for lx and sx;

ha – five string bass guitar

complete reshaping of bass guitar kit;

sound and code – generative audio visualisation

code is linked to sound, different classes affecting different objects changing color, vector, etc. this is a screencapture skipping through squarepushers – tundra;

powerrail – collection 2010/2011

with aws designteam, the powerrail is especially for carving, flexible, just one fixed pair of screws, all the others are flexible so the rail is not avoiding the ski bending;

brain prosthetics – singular savant

The research started in robotics, technology and film. Inspired throughthis the focus was brain and growing, brought together by generative.Every person is unique, every generated form is unique.

overgrown classics

generative grown chairs based on classic chairs geometry;why is a topology of a furniture become “classic”, and how deformable is this topology. the first one is based on arne jacobsen – nr 7, the proportions still describe the classic nr.7 altough the chair itself doesn´t look like it;selective laser sinter (SLS) will shift it from digital into analouge.

mapped ceramics – digital strategy & analog process

„Mapped Ceramics, digital strategies – analog process“ links traditional craftsmanship of ceramic molding (slip cast) and digital mapping (projecting pictures on digital surfaces).
The whole process is an intense experiment between the edges of digital and analog boundaries in my work. I´m interested in the process of a project and how a process defines the result, also these parameters change from one project to another. To me nothing seems to contradict: it is rather more like contrast; making a picture more intense.
In mapped ceramics the contrast creates the surface.

rental disk – head

design for aws designteam
head rental disk for snowboard bindings;
open – rotate and adjust binding, close – everything is fixed;

mada guitars – mada sab

the same concept, just much much deeper sound…

ambulance light and roof design

roof and light design for ambulance vehicles of different car companys; the design integrates lights (LED or traditional) into the roof;

mada guitars – mada caimes

together with adam wehsely-swiczinsky and andreas neubauer

aero – outdoor table

outdoor table made of siberian larch, easy to build, should be gray after the first winter;

fischer skiboot junior race

with aws designteam for fischer ski, remodelling and redesign;

one minute of – applet

here is an applet which shows the developement of  “one minute of…” grafics; it is possible to change the over all mode, through fading, you can turn on and off circles, change colors, and fade out somekind of layer through pressing the mouse;  it is necessary to turn on music of course, or say something into your computer-micro, this has an effect on linelenght, alpha channel and circle diameter;  APPLET

one minute of…

first try to include LINE-IN into processing (minim library); the program is reacting on music and works very “randomized”; this makes it kind of interesting. the more “complex” the music gets, the more complex graphics will draw on the screen.
