Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.

Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.

Talking Tree - Making of

Everybody has an opinion on Nature. But what about Nature’s opinion?
EOS magazine decided to give Nature the means to talk.

A 100 year old tree, living on the edge of Brussels, was hooked up to a fine dust meter, ozone meter, light meter, weatherstation, webcam and microphone. This equipment constantly measures the tree’s living circumstances. And translates this information into human language. Then, the tree lets the world know how he feels. Follow the life of the talking tree via Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Soundcloud. And friend him on Facebook.

“Impresario”, our gesture and voice controlled theater game concept, is finally completed. It is designed as an online multi player game for the upcoming xbox360 with kinect extension. This extension offers highly detailed full body motion capture of up to four players in front of the screen. The gained information is used to interact with the corresponding game.

“Impresario” is the visual output of our Bachelor thesis “Theater as a Casual Game”. It is written and designed by Peer Dräger and Joschka Wolf at the department of media design at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University in 2010.
