Walden Floor 2025 @ Zugvögel Festival

This year, our Walden Floor transformed into the PetroLoco gas station that has been the site of a battle between the oil oligarchs and the ecological fraction. Next to the floor and the usual interactive installations, you could also play real-life Tuxkart here.

The Palapian's Spaceship

An interactive, networked spaceship you can actually board: players complete (or sabotage) missions across a dozen physical interfaces - buttons, joysticks, LED boards, sensors, etc - to either launch the ship or doom it, with everything driven by a Python/ESP/Unity stack. It’s modular, auto-resets regularly, and scales to festival crowds without manual babysitting.

Your browser doesn't support embedded videos, but don't worry, you can download it and watch it with your favorite video player!

First, there was the infamous PoolnudelschlagapparatPool Noodle Hitting Aparatus (PNHA). At Fusion Festival 2023, we had some pool noodles, some windshield wiper motors, and a wood construct to put a simple game into, so we did the only sensible thing to combine those things: You play Flappy Bird, and if you are too bad, you get hit with a pool noodle.

In 2024, for our Walden Floor at Zugvögel Festival, the visitor was immerged into the crash site of an alien spaceship, featuring multiple interactive installations next to our usual dancefloor.

My Ticket to Moyn Festival 2023, a nice one-week-project involving building something nice out of scrap material as well as implementing the software using a Microcontroller and a Raspberry Pi:

Palapa Floor @ Fusion Festival

For the last three years I’ve been part of the crew behind Fusion Festivals largest Floor: Palapa — a collectively built, ever-changing “city of the future” and dance floor. We turn a 1,200 m² tent into a dense skyline of handmade structures, layered light, and countless small details.
