BEWEGTE ORTE was an interactive data visualization we built for the Activism Camp at @volkskundemuseumwien, as part of @biennale.wien 2024.

The exhibit enabled activists and visitors to share their feelings about places and stories in Austria and if they made an impact on them. The points also store affiliations to climate organizations, and therefore provide a snapshot of the climate movement(s) in Austria in 2024. Through the visualization, trends and contradictions become visible and invite for discussions.

Impressions from our latest Spatial A/V workshop at @ustp_hochschule

Together with students from our department and European partner universities in Setubal @estsetubal, Waszaw @pjait_nema and Leuven-Limburg @ucleuvenlimburg, we developed audiovisual narratives across space, time and interaction, to be presented during @lucid_dreams_ustp Festival in May 2026.

Thanks a lot to @ottosonics and @tamlablinz for providing the multichannel infrastructure and construction!

Touching Data: the interactive installation “Data Soil” makes Munich’s Digital Twin tangible.📀

In the reel, Korbinian Kringer (GeodataService Munich) and Christoph Kirmaier (3e8.Studio) introduce the work. Light, movement and topography translate complex datasets into spatial images – revealing concrete stories about the city: unexploded ordnance, urban heat, accessibility.

Data Soil shows how data shapes planning – and how abstract information becomes a tool for everyday urban life.
What questions about Munich would you like to explore here?

To be experienced in the exhibition CITY IN THE CLOUD. DATA ON THE GROUND at the Architecture Museum of the TUM in the Pinakothek der Moderne.

Further discussion in our DATA TALK “Urban Data Governance”, 29 January 2026, 6:00–7:30 pm ·
Free admission · Registration: anmeldung@architekturmuseum.de

Daten zum Anfassen: Die interaktive Installation “Data Soil” macht den Digitalen Zwilling München physisch erfahrbar. 📀

Im Reel stellen Korbinian Kringer (GeodatenService München) und Christoph Kirmaier (3e8.Studio) die Arbeit vor. Lichtpunkte, Bewegung und Topografie übersetzen komplexe Datensätze in räumliche Bilder – und erzählen konkrete Geschichten über die Stadt: von der Suche nach Blindgängern, von Hitzeinseln im Stadtraum, von Barrieren und Zugänglichkeit.

Data Soil zeigt, wie Daten Planung beeinflussen – und wie abstrakte Informationen zu einem Werkzeug für den urbanen Alltag werden.
Welche Fragen an München würdet ihr hier gerne stellen?

Aktuell zu erleben in der Ausstellung CITY IN THE CLOUD. DATA ON THE GROUND im Architekturmuseum der TUM in der Pinakothek der Moderne.

Mehr zum Thema gibts diesen Donnerstag beim DATA TALK: 29. Januar 2026. Urban Data Governance 18:00–19:30 Uhr, Eintritt frei. Anmeldung: anmeldung@architekturmuseum.de

🏙️ Is the city more than a computer?

The so-called Smart City uses data to “optimize” and “manage” complexity. But how exactly are these digital systems reshaping our urban environments and architectural practice?

CITY IN THE CLOUD. DATA ON THE GROUND examines how data modelling, machine learning, and AI are transforming the design, construction, and even the deconstruction of buildings. Through a case study developed in collaboration with the Digital Twin Munich, the exhibition asks: What if data were used to empower citizens instead of serving surveillance capitalism?

Can we envision data as a public infrastructure and a tool for civic engagement?

💡 Join the Discussion at the upcoming Data Talk:
🗓️ January 29, 2026: Urban Data Governance. A conversation with the City of Munich (GeodatenService),. Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM 🎟️ Admission: Free

🏙️ Ist die Stadt mehr als ein Computer?

Die sogenannte Smart City nutzt Daten, um Komplexität zu „optimieren“ und zu „verwalten“. Doch wie genau verändern diese digitalen Systeme unsere städtische Umgebung und die architektonische Praxis?

CITY IN THE CLOUD. DATA ON THE GROUND untersucht, wie Datenmodellierung, maschinelles Lernen und KI die Gestaltung, den Bau und sogar den Rückbau von Gebäuden transformieren. Anhand einer Fallstudie, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Digitalen Zwilling München entwickelt wurde, stellt die Ausstellung die Frage: Was wäre, wenn Daten dazu genutzt würden, Bürger:innen zu stärken, anstatt dem Überwachungskapitalismus zu dienen?

Können wir Daten als öffentliche Infrastruktur und Instrument für bürgerschaftliches Engagement begreifen?

💡Diskutiert mit - beim nächsten Data Talk:
🗓️ 29. Januar 2026: Urban Data Governance mit der Landeshauptstadt München (GeodatenService). 📍 Ort: Im 3. Raum des Architekturmuseums 🕕 Zeit: 18:00 – 19:30 Uhr 🎟️ Eintritt: kostenlos

Critical raw materials such as gold, copper, cobalt, nickel, tin, and lithium are traded daily on global markets. Though they seem like inert matter, their prices are volatile, shaped by supply and demand, production forecasts, geopolitical tensions, industrial needs, and speculation. Value is not defined by their presence in the ground but by their listing on exchanges, where prices constantly fluctuate.

This display combines material samples with real-time market data from platforms such as Trading Economics. It highlights the disconnect between physical reality and economic abstraction, prompting reflection on value, control, and what remains hidden beneath the surface.

Artifacts from the collection of the Deutsches Museum – Moritz Heber and Luise Allendorf-Hoefer.

From the exhibition “City in the Cloud, Data on the Ground” at @architekturmuseum_tum, @pinakothekdermoderne - showing exhibits we developed from conceptualization and ideation into full realization, and that have been experienced and interacted with since October by a few thousand visitors.

Our work turns publicly accessible information into engaging, interactive environments for museums, institutional contexts, and public spaces. We create systems for public conditions: stable over time, maintainable in operation, and readable for diverse audiences.

In 2026, we’ll deepen and extend the workflows and pipelines we’ve developed for long runtimes and maximum stability.

Happy new year everybody!

2025 is over and what a crazy year it was. We’re proudly looking back on interactive and immersive projects in digital art, complex technical environments, and a continued refinement of how we work as a studio within institutional contexts.

A number of new projects and collaborations are already underway. We are working hard on consolidating our work into a new website and can not wait to share it with you very soon!

Many thanks to our collaborators, friends, and clients for exciting projects in the past year - @architekturmuseum_tum @pixelforest.berlin @wirtschaftsagentur_wien @mvdaustria @thenodeinstitute @interactivescape @refikanadol @motionexperiencelab @audioversum @ustp_hochschule @lucid_dreams_ustp @manifest.io.berlin @codeandcontext @sonnenwelt
