20 Jahre Mauerfall in Berlin
exploring the falling of the Berlin wall
For the 20th annual of the falling 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 walk through these places in the past and now to see the changes of berlin in this timeperiod.

fit flower
new dishwashing liquid
During a course of creative-training an existing product or trade ought to be improved. Our starting product was fit – a dishwashing liquid. We wanted to create one that looks like an accessoire (in the kitchen). First of all we turned the ordinary plastic bottle into a vase. Through seperate buyable plastic plants a special fragrance is added to the scentless liquid. The new fit -flower is customizable because of its possiblity to decide between different flavoures and its eco-friendly refill-system.

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 her projects, as a kind of sculpture. The position of the sculpture is directed to the geographical position 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 course "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 games which has been influenced by an other games or has been based on an other game were connected by a cord.

The Motivation was just playfil. We wanted to try out tracking objects with a webcam. 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 these action is a very abstract prozess. The LightCubes make the light haptic by comining the switch with the luminary, by adding or removing a cube the brightness can be controlled. Because of the exists of the six sides of acube, the cube-property can be fixed by the side lying on top. The sides correspond to the properties: yellow, red, green, blue, brighter and off. By the four main-colours every colour can be mixed. To switch off a hole group, you can turn the off-side on top. The projects was a cooperation with Johannes Tonollo.

Narratives 2.0
visualising music
Narrative 2.0 visualises music. The music was segmented in single channels. The channels are shown fanlike and the lines move from the center away with the time. The angle of the line changes according to the frequency of the channel, while the frequency reaching a high level, the channel becomes highlighted by orange. The visualisation should not necessarily return exact informations, even if the arrangement and uniformity of the music can be read. The purpose was to create even more an aesthetically responding visualisation with the music as an artist.
