Projects I did as part of my self-employment
The Confessional
A confessional box at Walden Festival 2026 where visitors confess their sins to a local AI priest, who grants absolution - and forwards the sins, anonymized and retold in an angel’s voice, to the Holy Toilet.
Walden Floor 2026: Santo Nido
This year, our Walden floor at Zugvögel became Santo Nido: a church dedicated to a phoenix sect. Stained-glass windows, holy birds, an AI confessional, and a tower-clock that goes wild with the music. A lot of religious nonsense, and so much love for detail.
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.
Tux-Kart with Real-Life Powerups
Festival Installation where two people play OSS-Mariokart, but instead of Koopas the in-game items squirt water or fog at the opponent or hit with the Poolnudelschlagapparat.
Walden Floor 2024 @ Zugvögel Festival
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.
Moyn Leierkasten
A digital version of a leierkasten build out of scrap material, implemented 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.
