Errors of Translation: Designing with experiments, sketching with technology.

In face-to-face conversations our body sends signals that go beyond the choice of words. Tone of voice, gestures and body language are signals that affect how the message is conveyed. However, text tools today filter all o those signals and leave the receiver with perfectly polished text. Digital Body Language is a text processor that leaves visible trails of the typing process as part of written text.

Basing on the series of experiments the presentation will focus on the iterative experimentation process. How can sketching with technology aid the design process? What if our hands-on approach will aim to generate questions rather than solutions?

Directing experiences and designing immersive spaces. How PRO8L3M 'OUTPOST' became the first immersive album premiere

A week before the new PRO8L3M's album premiere, we unveiled OUTPOST - a mysterious installation x listening party.
We wanted to build another dimension upon music. A sensory, immersive trip to the world of the band. A dystopian twist on a theme park concept. Filling the 1890m2 of post-industrial space with unexpected encounters that triggered the sense of discovery.
It was a journey built from the series of multimedia experiences inspired by the band’s lore.
