What would your music taste look like as an object? Cloudspeaker is a conceptual work to create loudspeakers that reflect the music taste of their owner via 3d printing.
Nowadays listening to music over the computer is common. Information on what kind of music you like can be saved, evaluated and summed up in tags. Our concept uses this information and shapes it into your individualised loudspeaker.

Exorbit is a ventilator, produced with Rapid Prototyping, that by means of the technology surpasses your expectations of what a conventional ventilator should look like. Neither are the rotors the striking element nor does the object turn itself around its axis. The context of form and function has been radically reinterpreted. Can a net make wind? Does a rotating body have to turn around the centre?

Experimental design via sound input.
No matter if you want to scream, sing or simply leave a quiet note the Soundplotter as an interactive concept translates sounds into a three dimensional object. Via the programming language `Processing´ the volume of a sound can change the size of a body in real time. At a high volume the object gets bigger.
