One Hundred and Eight is an interactive wall-mounted Installation created by the German artist and communication designer Nils Völker. He explores new ways of reproducing and visualizing data and information by creating artworks with the means of physical computing at the intersection of technology and art.

The art installation One Hundred and Eight interacts with the movement of the audience. As soon as a viewer comes close it instantly reacts by drawing back and tentatively following the movements of the observer. As long as he remains in a certain area in front of the installation it dynamically reacts to the viewers motion. Once it does no longer detect someone close it reorganizes itself after a while and gently restarts moving around in its autonomous pattern.

Interactive artist Daniel Rozin creates fascinating mirrors with unreflective surfaces. The below video shows one of his creations, “the wooden mirror”. This mirror uses 830 square pieces of wood which are hooked up to an equal number of small motors which move the wooden blocks according to a built in camera. The camera picks up the movement in front of the mirror and transfers the signal to the wood tiles which results in an eerie representation of reality depicted in small wooden pixels.

The centre figure of Lopez Carlos productions is filmmaker and animator Eugenio Lopez Carlos. His work ranges from film making, animations to VJ-shows and to 3d modelling and texture design. Aside of his commissioned work he also creates autonomous work like his interactive docudrama about conspiracies called: Don’t watch this film. In this film Lopez Carlos blurs the boundaries of fiction and reality. The viewer gets into a roller coaster ride where fact and fiction and urban legends get mixed into a new reality, this reality is often throughout the movie combined with a good dose of humour. What is the truth and what is pure nonsense? what is reality and what is fiction?
