Research & Investigation

The foundation of our output. This is where we get to "play" a lot and aim for no specific products. Pure Research as they say. Sometimes we plan a series of concurring experiments, both in hardspace as well as gedankenexperimente, along a clear path (->Closing the Loop) but other experiments evolve from sheer chance or are being brought in by guests and people of our liking (->workshops, open lab).

We welcome expressions of interest in collaborations, whether from hermetic tinkerers or highly funded research labs. There are things all over to be looked into.

The input of our laboratory comes from the Think Tank
The output of our laboratory is tested in Field Research

Data Ecologies Workshop
Simulations of physics, Physics as simulation.

A two day workshop investigating the interplay between the simulation of physics for the creation of artificial (data) ecologies, and the possibility that physics (and thus all ecosystems) is itself, a data process.
Here are the Details.

BodySPIN++ development
Pulse Race, a new environment for the Spherical Projection INterface, will replace Pulse Fall in the BodySPIN show.
With every pulse of the user's heart, the end of the tunnel leaps away. The tunnel grows in beats, each section heading off; up and down, left and right. Moving steadily forwards without undue exertion allows the user to catch their heart.

SPIN Exploring Spaces
"SPIN Spaces" is a research series which engages in the investigation of borders of three dimensional euclidean spaces in Virtual Reality (VR) in general and of the borders of those spaces in Time's Up's Spherical Projection Interface (SPIN) in particular. This is an investigation that aims to break the common notion of space in VR.
