Generative LED wall display for Mann+Hummel

A custom control software was developed for a 17 x 5 m LED wall, which is the central element of the new corporate museum of filter manufacturer Mann+Hummel in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

The application facilitates the display of generative animations, bar and line charts as well as a world map, which highlights the global locations of the company. It features an intuitive timeline editor for the design and arrangement of the content. Besides the DMX output for the LED display, the software also controls the sound and the neon lights.

The animations were designed in collaboration with TheGreenEyl, Berlin.

Travelscope – a visual exploration of the travel freedom attached to passports

travelscope_1

The weight and the travel freedom attached to a passport vary drastically across nationalities. International visa-regulations are very complex and often non-transparent. They reflect the economical and geopolitical situations as well as the relationships of countries.

This interactive experiment aims to cast some light on these structures and make it easy to find out which countries an individual of a certain nationality can travel to without a visa or with visa on arrival.

I wanted to create an intuitive and instant way to find out how many countries a certain national can travel to without a visa or with visa on arrival – and which nationals can enter a certain country without a visa.

The web application also features a responsive design and directly works on any iOS device (iPhone/iPad) running iOS 8 or newer and on recent Android versions.

The interactive map is programmed using D3.js and Three.js; the visa data are pulled from Wikipedia in regular intervals.
