The Exhibition that shouldn't exist

The Exhibition that shouldn't exist doesn't have an artist and it isn't art. But it portrays the reality of the irresponsible arms trade around the world, turning visible a violent truth that many don't see.

This exhibition only exists because at every minute, armed violence makes a fatal victim. Because every year, 26 million people are forced to flee from their homes due to armed conflicts.

Because 300 thousand child soldiers are fighting wars and 2 of 3 people killed by armed violence die in countries at peace.

The Exhibition that shouldn't exist is a campaign for Control Arms, a global civil society alliance that is fighting for the Arms Trade Treaty, which will be negotiated on the next UN conference between 18 and 28 of march

The Google Graveyard - Leave a flower for a deceased Google product.

It’s hard to lose a loved one, especially if that loved one is a Google service. That’s why we’re opening the gates of the Google Graveyard, a virtual space for grieving. Buried in these hallowed grounds are some of Google’s ill-fated services. Some, like Google Reader, lived long, prosperous lives, full of admiration and glory. Most, like Google Wave and Google Buzz, struggled to carve out a place in this harsh, unforgiving world where technologies continuously clash and innovation reigns king. But whether these services transformed our productivity or only polluted our inboxes, they all touched our world in some way.

Prague Spring - Ring up your music

Idea

In order to promote the festival of classical music we perform a promo action in the shop where every customer can compose his own piece of music. We draw a musical staff on the cash register tape. When the cashier is ringing up the sale, some sounds are coming from the speakers forming a piano work composed by the customer instead of the annoying ringing. After passing the checkout lane the customer receives a receipt with the list of purchases and a sheet music of his own composition.

How does it work

The cash register tape has the indicators that detect the location of items in musical staff. After that the notes are organized in the same order as the items on tape forming a piano piece of music.

Afrika Kicker by MISEREOR

The relief organisation MISEREOR is always looking for new ways to promote its, "2 Euros Help" initiative. Table Football for Africa is an interactive donation box in the form of a table football game, complete with all the adversities you might expect at a typical African kick-about. The 2 Euro donation goes directly towards promoting sports for children and young people in Rwanda and South Africa. A facebook app spread word of the campaign on the social web with a ticker and live stream, drawing attention to the initiative and encouraging more giving.

Special elements added to the table make the game a more like a real African football match: a sandy and uneven ground, figures on crutches, a tree in the middle of the field, and a well that can easily swallow the ball mid-play. The inside edges of the table show off other meaningful projects that will be supported by the donations. The game is also available for mobile devices and on Facebook, presented in a striking African design.

How does it spread on the Internet? 

hen players log-on to their facebook profile, their friends can follow the game with the live-ticker and, using a special pin-board, make their own donations online. An integrated camera also broadcasts every game, live on Facebook.

The centrepiece of the system is an Arduino board. This board is able to register events during the game using integrated sensors. An LTE stick then sends this information to the game server. A Flash Media Live Encoder running on a Mac Mini sends the camera signal to the streaming provider, Ustream.
