To celebrate the launch of the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards, Cinimod Studio was commissioned to create an outdoor interactive lighting installation. Conceived as an exploded blank canvas, the huge “exploded globe of light” was suspended from the trees over London’s famed Hoxton Square and was interactively controlled (in VVVV!) by the guests. See video.

Peyote - Cross Design Concepts was asked to design an interactive floor projection for energy company Vattenfall in Berlin and Hamburg.

Four colorful scenarios invite to play around.

From 30th October until 9th November the festival for computer-based art CYNETart_08 takes place in Dresden, Germany.

Artists from 45 countries with about 280 works have applied to participate in the festivals competition.

One of the 16 selected artworks is the BIO CAN, an interactive web installment made with vvvv. It transfers the technique of spraying a slogan from the eighties into the present.
The internet is the outer wall of today.

With the wooden BIO CAN you can spray a message at the website of a climate killer. Your picture will be saved and automatically sended as an attachment via email to the chairman of the climate desroyer.
For more information please check the website.

Another interesting artwork at the festival is "double helix" by Ursula Damm.

It is worth to visit it!

Outdoor Show in The Hague by MAXALOT Gallery, 26-27 September 2008

Press Release

What if you had a special little helper who could assist your own creativity into creating the most intricate layout of various curious and beautifully detailed objects and things. Who would be the real creator? What if you had actually made this special little helper yourself to begin with? Artists working with programming do just that, they create a very powerful creator and let them do the hard work. Through computer software algorithms written in various scripting languages more and more artists now use these powerful tools to have information generate mind blowing imagery. This "processing" of information happens in a combination of order and disorder, and although most behaviours are very much so controlled by the artists, the outcome is always somewhat of a surprise.

For this event, this public outdoor exhibition, Maxalot will present a selection of todays finest generative artists and have their work light up part of the VROM building next to The Hague's Central Station using another powerful tool, Light.
