This is an typographical experiment on direct text wrapping. The text always maintains the shape of a block whereas the line breaks ignore single words and letters.

This generative swarm of mouse cursors was a result of chance during coding. Each cursor has its own target. While it keeps trying to reach it, it overshoots the target a few times befor it finally gets it.

For some time this animation was the start page of this website.

Programmed interactive graphics are used for digital invitation flyers. The graphics are generated in realtime and will thus be different on each opening. The graphics react to mouse movements and clicks.

Various experiments made with Processing during the workshop by Marius Watz

Dynamic Form
A spring model can be held at each single point and moved.

Behaviour
Particles demontrate various behaviours like attraction, avoidance or alignment.

Gesture
Mouse movements create a threedimensional generative form.

For the basic course 2002/2003 in the Digital Media Class a documentation website and CD-Rom was developed. The Basic course was supervised by Ralph Ammer.

An interactive menu in the top left corner provides access to information on the participants of the course and their works. The layout is scalable and adapts to the screen resolution automatically. The menu was designed by the group, the programming was done in collaboration with Andre Stubbe.

This experimental game is the digital equivalence of a real mirror maze. In this case the actor is not a person, but the mouse cursor.

On a black screen you see only the edges of a two-dimensional mirror maze in the form of white points. As you start the game, the virtual reflections of the cursor appear, created by the invisible mirrors. The mirrors can be orthogonal or diagonal.

The aim is to navigate the cursor through the system as quickly as possible in order to find the still unknown exit. On every collision with a mirror penalty points are added. The final score is calculated from the duration and the number of collisions. The lower the value, the better the player.
