The Mensch und Computer Konferenz 2005 was held at the Johannes Keppler University in Linz/Austria.

This scene plays in my head when I imagine putting on my jumper but then pulling it all the way down to my ankles and stepping out of it like a pair of pants and repeating the action round and round in circles. I created this short animation to visualize what I see.

Animation

When editing the drawings of the animation I noticed that I could give the jumper a pattern by filling it with content from the preceding image. This way, the jumper works as a sort of window into the past.

Flickbook

To make the flickbook I had the sketches developed as photos, emphasizing the fact that they were inspired by pictures of my imagination. The photos are bound together by two screws that are mounted through an old handle that I found on the street.

The flickbook was first shown in June 2005 at the Daumenkinofestival in Linz, where is was voted to be among the favorite three. In September 2005 the animation was shown at the WOLKE7 shortfilmfestival in Vienna, where it won second place. In March 2006 is was aired at the Frauen Film Fest in Linz, Austria

The recipetable is an interactive workplace built into a kitchen counter top that enables a user or several simultaneously to intuitively and interactively search for recipes. The user places products upon the workplace surface, and these are then recognized by the system. The position and the quantity of the selected ingredients result in recipe suggestions, which the user can navigate through by rearranging the products on the workplace surface. These recipe suggestions are also depicted graphically as finished dishes on the interactive workplace. The interactive search for recipe suggestions is unique in that the search results involve using only those products that the user has selected.

For the installation prototype camera vision and abstract symbol tracking were implemented with the future of RfiD tags replacing Barcodes in mind. We obtained a fully working vision engine written in c++ and implemented it into our navigation written in Java. We created a recipe-database containing about 70 recipes which resulted from the limited number of ingredients chosen for exhibition purposes.
