This film was the result of a multi-year design project with Google. Project Soli developed a new interaction sensor using radar technology, in order to find new kinds of interactions with products.
Internet machine is a multi-screen film about the invisible infrastructures of the internet. The film reveals the hidden materiality of our data by exploring some of the machines through which ‘the cloud’ is transmitted and transformed. More…
Pixel Track is a prototype of a new kind of connected display, produced by Berg in collaboration with the Future Cities Catapult. More…
Cloudwash is a prototype washing machine that was made to explore how connectivity might change the ordinary appliances in our homes. Made at BERG and designed by Durrell Bishop. More…
This film uses found-footage from computer vision research to explore how machines are making sense of the world. More…
Little Printer lives in your home, bringing you news, puzzles and gossip from friends. Use your smartphone to set up subscriptions and Little Printer will gather them together to create a timely, beautiful mini-newspaper. More…
Made at BERG for Dentsu London Suwappu are woodland creatures that swap pants, little toys that come to life in augmented reality. Suwappu is a new kind of content platform, with various social, creative and commercial possibilities. More…
Made as part of the Yourban and Touch projects, this film explores the invisible terrain of digital networks in urban spaces by light painting WiFi signal strength into long-exposure photographs. A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting. More…
Made at BERG for Dentsu London this film explores playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world. We use photographic and animation techniques that were developed to draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad. In dark environments, we play movies on the surface of the iPad that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation. More….
Made at BERG for Bonnier this film explores the experience of reading magazines on tablets. Made six months before the iPad was launched, it illustrated one possible vision for digital magazines. More…
Made for the HABITAR exhibition at Laboral, Wireless in the World overlays representations of invisible wireless technology into real, public spaces. It aims to provoke discussion around the new ‘immaterials’ that underpin many of our urban interactive experiences. More…
Made as part of the Touch project with BERG, Nearness explores interacting without touching. With RFID technology it’s proximity that matters, and actual contact isn’t necessary, so here we play with the problems of invisibility and the magic of being close. More…
Made as part of the Touch project with BERG this video explores the spatial qualities of RFID technologies, visualised through long exposure photography and animation. More…
Satellite Lamps is a project that reveals some of the material and spatial qualities of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Made with Einar Sneve Martinussen and Jørn Knutsen as part of the Yourban research project at AHO. We created a series of lamps that change brightness according to the accuracy of received GPS signals, and when we photograph them as timelapse video, we start to build a picture of how these signals behave in actual urban spaces.
Made with Einar Sneve Martinussen and Jørn Knutsen as part of the Touch project. Skål is a media player designed for the home that lets you interact with digital media using physical objects. You place objects in a wooden bowl to play back related media on the TV. More…
Made with Sara Johansson and Einar Sneve Martinussen as part of the Touch project. Sniff is a soft toy dog that ‘sniffs’ and reacts to objects that come close to his nose. More…
Made as part of the Touch project, this is a conceptual video prototype of an iPhone media player that uses RFID embedded in physical objects to control media. More….
A short visual experiment that shows physical space overlaid with digital, manipulable map information.
A glimpse into the processes of transforming rough wood into sculptural, formed objects. Featuring Matt Cottam.
