 On August 6-7, DUL, CAVI and Martin Professional held a workshop on media facades at Danish Design Center (DDC) in Copenhagen. The aim of the workshop was to develop visual and interactive experiments to explore the potentials of large media screens in public space. The experiments were conducted on six large screens – making a total of 24 square meters – installed in the windows at DDC in the center of Copenhagen.
Throughout the two days activities consisted of both lectures, discussions and production of the experiments. The final results were shown at the reception in the evening on friday 6th.

Sleeping woman
The body of a reclining woman is portrayed in full figure across the six screens. As pedestrians walk by she rolls over according to their position on the sidewalk.

|
 |
String
A visual experiement on details by combining low resolution video on the LED-screen with high resolution video projected on top of it.

 |
Earth
The six screens acting as windows into a view of the earth. A marked zone on the sidewalk enabled users to scroll and zoom the globe by moving from side to side.

WILL FOLLOW YOU
The concept of scrolling marquee signs made interactive. Each line of text follows the movement of pedestrians on the sidewalk.

 |
Cubes
A visual experiment on creating the illusion of a cubic space in each of the six screens.

 |
Traces
Pedestrians gets followed by coloured lines and thereby creating traces along the screen. Where colours overlap the colours are blended to makeup additive colours.

Light Waves
Three waves move slowly in colours red, green and blue. Where the waves overlap the colours are blended to makeup additive colours.
