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. [Read More]

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:
