Talking about chemieraum at fmx/09
Yesterday my project partner Jens Franke and me held a talk at fmx/09, the 14. international conference on animation, effects, games and digital media. We presented the chemieraum project within the framework of the 10th junior showcase for »eyes and ears of europe« (EEOFE). We felt the pleasant vibes there and met some people from other universities like University of Arts Vienna, KISD Cologne, Georg Simon Ohm University Nuremberg, SAE Hamburg/Berlin, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Filmakademie Ludwigsburg and especially many guys from FH Augsburg… ; ) Some of them calling themselves bunch of monkeys for doing some media installation stuff. While I was trying to get something for lunch I met some Interaction Design students from my old University HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd and felt like beeing a student again for one day. It´s a small world, really!
Unfortunately I just had time to visit two other talks, but these were fine. The first one was held by Zachary Lieberman about »making the invisible visible«. He talked about some of his projects like drawn, talk, the AR card magic and the Ars Electronica sound reactive installation (which I already knew form Joel Lewis talk at TOCA ME). Of course Zach (as a OF contributor) featured openframeworks as the ultimate tool… ; ) The second lecture was about »the tinkerer´s box« from the Quasimondo aka Mario Klingemann (incubator project site). He did some nice artworks with basic geometrical shapes like circles and triangles using Flash AS3.
It´s a pity that I have to work today. Maybe I´ll find some time for a short fmx visit before I head home to Bavaria again. If you are interested to be there next year just write a mail to info[at]eeofe[dot]de…
Shout out to Kristijan and the blonde girl which name I forgot (sorry) for taking these pictures…

TOCA ME 09 coverage Part I: Strukt
As we announced about a week ago, we are writing a little more about our trip to the TOCA ME design conference held in Munich. We were two interested visitors out of 750 (!). The event was completely sold out which no surprise if you consider the great line-up of designers.
This years motto was »hit by inspiration« and the series of lectures started with an opening clip by strukt who have been talking in the first slot…
