Project: Stern des Südens
Date: November 2009 - January 2010
Client: Pendry Artlab Gmbh
Partner: Siemens / Traxon
Location: Munich
The Munich based artist Michael Pendry asked MESO to join in his ambitious project to turn a wind turbine into the biggest glowing christmas star ever. The selected wind turbine was prominently located along the A9 next to the Allianz Arena in Munich. Michael Pendry challenged MESO to develop a system for displaying moving graphics on the wheels of the engine. MESO helped Pendry to find specialists for LED-technology and developed motion graphics, a 3d-simulation and a playback and scheduling system for the content.
Siemens specialists glued over 9000 Traxon DotXL RGB LEDs to the blades of the engine and connected them to a eCue DVI interface box.
Within only a few weeks MESO developed the playback concept and programmed the vvvv based software.
To be able to sense the exact position of the wheel at any time, MESO developed a optical sensor system attached to the magnets of the power generator. Additional sensors were devised for measuring orientation of the turbine. As the project was a temporary installation, no changes to the power generator or control electronics of the turbine could be made, the whole sensor system needed to work without touching any moving parts. After careful consideration a computer running vvvv was lifted up into the sky and mounted inside the rotating center hub of the turbine. A Wifi-based VNC connection allowed convenient vvvv-patching on the rotating computer in a campmobile next to the wind engine.
"Stern des Südens" is not only an innovative piece of multimedia art but also another example for energy efficiency on MESO´s project list, the little energy needed to light all LEDs is generated directly by the wind turbine.

Video documentation of Parhelia - A real-time visual music performance piece made with VVVV.
A Parhelion (plural Parhelia, from "beside the sun", also called a 'Mock Sun') is an atmospheric phenomenon that creates bright spots of light in the sky, often on a luminous ring or halo on either side of the sun.

Kinect Experiment, taste: "Dublicated Coordinates"
Ingredients: One amount of VVVV , for the "girl-power".
Add some CL NUI drivers and Vux's Plugin for the accuracy. Insert a amount of time by choice. Callibrate one IR-Camera with one RGB-Camera. Mangle it all with a piece of Point Cloud for the 4D-flavor. And finish it with a pinch of confusing and contradictory thoughts.

Sensible1.0: an interactive media-installation about the ability to sense a digital / virtual layer constructed in a physical space.
The essence of the installation is the virtual layer / x y z coordinates, which is monitored real-time in a physical environment. Only when an object or a person is positioned on the coordinates of the virtual layer (within the physical space), it will reveal itself in the form of projected light.
This is a registration of the first experimental setup of Sensible 1.0, which will be developed further for the exposition @ ISMAR 2011
A conversation in an abstract musical language. Inspired by the 60's work of Kazumasa Nagai.
recorded in realtime.
We were invited to show visual ideas and creative possibilities for bar culture and artful CI branding. We had some screens, a foam model "B" for mapping, one Christie and a stand.
