"Irgendwas mit Social Media"
Das erste Drittel dieses Jahres ist vorbei und es lässt sich sagen, dass Social Media in der Unternehmenskommunikation angekommen ist. Alles webzwonullige läuft auf heavy rotation in einschlägigen Fachpublikationen wie Horizont oder WUV. Dem kann sich kein Marketeer und kein Kommunikator mehr entziehen. So langsam springen alle auf den Zug auf, wollen ihre Facebook-Seite, den Twitter-Account und ein hübsches YouTube-Video. Die Rede ist nicht von den Innovatoren aus E-Commerce und ITK, den großen Lifestyle-Marken oder Verlagsprodukten. Vielmehr sind es jetzt Mittelständler und mausgraue B2B-Unternehmen, die bei den Agenturen anklopfen und sich Rat holen.

Information Design Patterns
Information Design Patterns: "This website is part of the Master's thesis The Form of Facts and Figures, developed by Christian Behrens in the Interface Design program at Potsdam University of Applied Sciences. Its goal is the development of a design pattern taxonomy for the field of data visualization and information design."
WePad Interface Demo
Sorry, best off:
- Die Software ist am Starten
- Die Applikation sind wirklich am Laufen alle
- Wir haben nicht nur eine Navigation auf der rechten Seite - sondern wir haben auch eine Navigation auf der linken Seite. (Wow)
- Ich kann hier auf einen Knopf drücken
- Querformat ist besser als Hochformat?
- Wir sind ja nicht so wie Apple
- Ah doch es kommt
- Das ist eher, das Otto so langsam ist
Besser kann man die Unterschiede zwischen Apple und WePad nicht aufzeigen. Bottom Up vs. Top Down.
Mehr dazu bei auch bei Gerrit.

Example: "Using the wearable Dew camera, users can constantly record daily experiences. The camera has emotional recognition through vocal rhythms and gesture recognition through hand motionsThe camera achieves emotional recognition by analyzing vocal rhythms and gesture recognition by analyzing hand movements. A server saves your viewed scenes in real time through the network. And the Dew viewer reproduces your memories, which can be saved through emotional and gesture recognition. You can also enjoy looking at the images of yourself that have been taken by a Dew camera worn by someone else. The images of yourself are automatically searched through other people’s visual data shared on the network. Designer: NEC and SGI Japan Ltd."

Ohm Studio
Ohm Studio is a standalone real-time collaborative music making application (DAW/sequencer) in addition to a web based collaboration platform and a music driven online cohmunity.
Nowadays music tools are powerful and have great features, but you may have already dreamed about this one in particular: real-time collaboration. Wouldn't it be cool being able to work with your friends while sharing the same tools at the same time, as if you were together in a studio? The Ohm Studio is the answer and even goes one step beyond: interface innovation, integrated web cohmunity, server based projects, undo/versioning and much more. From this day forward, the meaning of online music collaboration is being redefined.

see #5 review: Hannes Koch, rAndom International
London-based art and design collective rAndom International was founded in 2002 by Hannes Koch, Stuart Wood and Flo Ortkrass. rAndom International have developed a series of artistic projects and installations that aim to re-interpret the “cold” nature of digital-based work by providing the viewer with the opportunity to have a more hands-on experience with technology. More recently, their work has investigated the potential of adding behavioural qualities to usually in-animate objects and environments. Apart from experimental works rAndom realizes commissioned works for clients such as Philips, Fiat and Nokia.
Examples:
Further Projects:
As part of the Honda F1 Drivers day for Rubens Barachello, rAndom international were invited to develop a site specific work to celebrate the end of an era of F1. The result was a 7x3m phosphorescent race track, the only F1 race track in Buenos Aires, albeit suited for miniture 1:24 scale F1 Radio controlled cars. The cars were custom fitted with UV diodes which left the racing line illuminating in the dark.

What does it mean to be a pixel?- www.random-international.com
Examples:
Sticky - Instant labeling tape
Was designed as a simple, customisable, do-it-yourself signage system. By "blacking out" elements of a 14-segment display font on the tape, all you need is a black permanent pen to create your own temporary signs, labels and installations. Think re-naming your street after your loved one, moving house and labelling boxes, putting up official-looking signs or teaching your kids how to make letters...rolls are 65 metres.
PixelRoller
PixelRoller is a paint roller that paints pixels, designed as a rapid response printing tool specifically to print digital information such as imagery or text onto a great range of surfaces. The content is applied in continuous strokes by the user. PixelRoller can be seen as a handheld “printer”, based around the ergonomics of a paintroller, that lets you create the images by your own hand.
Temporary Graffiti Light Cans
The cans were originally commissioned by and developed for the Nokia Leave No Trace tour in 2005 / 2006. Based around the ‘contemporary’ graffiti capabilities of the LightRoller, we wanted to make part of the experience more accessible to the audience; following the success of the light pens that were part of the first presentation of the LightRoller, we further explored the ergonomics of the classic graffiti tool: the spray can. After some refinements,the aircraft grade aluminium cans look and feel like their analogue counterparts, just that they are working with nothing but light.Temporary Graffiti: rAndom vs 3TTman and from rAndom International on Vimeo.

Fade to light installation
An awareness of the kinästhetic power of mirrors and light is the dominant characteristic that has been developed by the interactive art work ‘You Fade To Light’. It engages directly with aesthetic ideas of kinästhetic learning by actual physical involvement. But by learning it is not suggested that the work is in any way didactic, since most creative learning in life is developed through participating in play.You Fade To Light / edit 1 from rAndom International on Vimeo.
http://www.random-international.com/you-fade-to-light-milan-2009/
Audience. Installation
In February 2010, rAndom went to the US to install the first copy of the Audience edition for a private collection. The installation is laid out on a long stretch of a custom designed plywood floor. For the first time it was possible to install it in a way that the mirrors are creating an autonomous play of light patterns on the wall.Audience February 2010 - Unedited from rAndom International on Vimeo.

1 corn of rice = 1 victim of war
a physical visualization of the world population demographics, by mapping 1 grain of rice to represent 1 human being. in the "of all the people in all the world" installation, population statistics are separated out in different piles to juxtapose compelling social phenomena, such as the comparison of all the prisoners in the world versus all the people in gated communities (roughly equal).

An art installation that represent the casualties in news reports as an ever-increasing random constellation of bright yellow candy. a computer program continuously scans the headlines of 4,500 English-language news sources around the world, looking for people who have been reported killed. the algorithm determines the number of deaths, & instructs a specially designed ceiling-mounted mechanism built with Lego NXT parts to drop one yellow BB per person. as a result, BBs will accumulate on the floor, ultimately forming a sort of aesthetic monument.

Sensing City Amsterdam, Persuasive Data Visualisation
A city has its own rhythm that affects the life of its people and is at the same time created by them. Bus schedules, traffic lights and the turn signals of cars are familiar patterns to the citizen. This interplay between creation and inspiration is also at the heart of all music. Making music means translating impression into sound, listening to music means transforming sound into impression.
So what happens if we allow these urban rhythms to occasionally have a direct influence on the musical performance of an eleven-piece-ensemble?
As the movement of cars outside the concert venue triggers the rhythms that are being played, the urban dwellers not knowingly become part of the composition, the city becomes audible through the musicians. This process happens in real-time and is guided by the framework of a video-installation that surrounds the ensemble during the performance of sensing city.Sensing City Preview from LevenMusterCollective on Vimeo.

Pavillon Cyberhelvetia auf der EXPO 02
In Anlehnung an eine traditionelle Schweizer Badeanstalt wurde der 'Cyberhelvetia'-Pavillon auf der Expo.02 in Biel als Ort der persönlichen Begegnung und Kommunikation konzipiert. Kommunikation kann heutzutage auf vielfältige Art und Weise stattfinden, unabhängig von Ort und Sprache. Auch ein gemeinsames Bad benötigt kein reales Wasser mehr: Ein blau leuchtender Glasquader ersetzte das reale Schwimmbecken – die Ausstellungsbesucher tauchten kopfüber in die vielschichtige Atmosphäre einer virtuell erweiterten Wirklichkeit und badeten in Licht und Klang.

3deluxe gestaltete den Innenraum des fußballförmigen Pavillons zu einem poetischen Informationswandler, der mittels einer interaktiven 360°-Projektion die augenblickliche Fußballbegeisterung der Ausstellungsbesucher vor Ort und von Menschen aus aller Welt widerspiegelte. Diese 40m lange Collage aus bewegten Bildern, grafischen und textlichen Elementen wurde durch die Einbeziehung des Publikums zu einem Meilenstein der Ausstellungskultur.Interaktive Spielinstallationen ließen die Teilnehmer in unterschiedliche Rollen aus der Welt des Fußballs schlüpfen oder informierten sie über vergangene und zukünftige Weltmeisterschaften.

Der CocoonClub wurde als avantgardistisches Experimentierfeld für die Transformation von Raum und Wahrnehmung konzipiert. In einem interdisziplinären Prozess gestaltete 3deluxe alle Elemente zu einem ganzheitlichen Raum, in dem sich Architektur, grafisches Programm sowie Medien- und Webdesign wechselseitig beeinflussen. Die perforierten Wandflächen des triangulären Hauptraumes erinnern an eine permeable Zellmembran, durch deren Öffnungen der Besucherfluss stattfindet. Sie ist wegen ihres mehrschichtigen Aufbaus und ihrer Oberflächenstruktur das signifikanteste architektonische Element des Clubs. Sie wird mit einer bewegten 360°-Projektion bespielt, die in Echtzeit mit dem DJ-Set abgestimmt werden kann.

The Microsoft Agent animation services automatically play certain animations for you. For example, when you use MoveTo or GestureAt commands, the animation services play an appropriate animation. Similarly, after the idle time out, the services automatically play animations. To support these states, you can define appropriate animations and then assign them to the states. You can still play any animation you define directly using the Play method, even if you assign it to a state.

A decade later he produced S,M,L,XL, an award-winning compendium developed in close collaboration with Rem Koolhaas. In 2003 Mau founded the Institute without Boundaries, a studio-based postgraduate program that was formed out of the conviction that the future demands a new breed of designer. This became the engine for Massive Change, an ambitious travelling exhibition, publication and educational program series that mapped out the power and possibility of design. In recent years he also worked on !Guateamala!, in collaboration with business and cultural leaders of Guatemala, to design a galvanizing movement to realize a positive future of their country.

THE JOHNNY CASH PROJECT
The Johnny Cash Project is a global collective art project, and we would love for you to participate. Through this website, we invite you to share your vision of Johnny Cash, as he lives on in your mind’s eye. Working with a single image as a template, and using a custom drawing tool, you’ll create a unique and personal portrait of Johnny. Your work will then be combined with art from participants around the world, and integrated into a collective whole: a music video for "Ain’t No Grave", rising from a sea of one-of-a-kind portraits.

Touchscreen-Designing with finger paints
Touchscreen interfaces would be easier to use if we designed them with finger paints. We stop “designing” this way the day we graduate from kindergarten, but think about it. Can you be sure a button will be large enough for a user to push? Will her hand cover up anything important? We wouldn’t need to ask questions like these if we had designed the touchscreen with finger paints. It would be self-evident.
