Tape

Kudo Mayuko (JP)

In Tape, the AEC is transformed into an oversized, sparkling ribbon-wrapped box. If you point an AR-app on it, the ribbon disengages and opens a gate that reveals the content: fleeing color dots, which slowly form figures that rise from an intangible, all-energy world into our reality.

Nord Süd

Moritz Laumert (DE)

Nord Süd deals with two important non-representational painters: Josef Albers and Günther Fruhtrunk. Both have great art-historical relevance and are points of reference to consumer culture and design alike. Fruhtrunk designed the plastic bag for Aldi-Nord, which irrevocably connects him to the brand. Albers’ famous painting, “Homage to the Square,” has surprising parallels to the Aldi-Süd or Hofer logo. Both of the painting-inspired graphics are processed and animated on the façade.
