description
Arthur are three networked LED light machines that act as a public communication system for the Theatre of the Arts in Zurich. With their own sign language they act as a medium to promote and organise student projects on site and online.

2d Binary codes are displayed and can be scanned by mobile phones forwarding to the web thus turning Arthur in a gateway to the online world. Next to that, Arthur is displaying twitter feeds in realtime.

See homepage of cruz&kiyak for more information.

PolkaDOT is a RGB LED combined with a driver. PolkaDOTs can be daisy-chained and controlled with the Propeller microchip from Parallax. The test matrix in the video serves as a small prototype for bigger matrices planned for an installation in public space. Read more about it on the project website.

"Cheminée", 2010, an interactive installation with Baby NOVA simulating a fire place. Visitors can use the bellows to start the fire. After a while, when no one is using the bellows, fire is shrinking and only embers are left.. Image was taken at the exhibition in Munich, for mor info check this post.

"Community Browser" is an installation in dock18 (space for media cultures). It was installed for 'becommunity', a series of events, where swiss online communities were invited to dock18. A simple painting software is running on a touchscreen. Visitors can draw and also look at other drawings, besides that, it is possible to watch the live stream of tv.dock18.ch. The touchscreen is embeded in the community wall (wooden panel with special blackboard color applied).
