Nebelkammer Hamburg

Selten war eine Ankündigungn zum UX Roundtable so falsch und im Kern doch so wahr, wie just im Dezember 2013. Wir fanden uns im Atelier von Sven Klomp in St. Georg ein; ein schöner heller hoher Arbeitsraum für zwei Personen – wir waren über 40 Leute. Und der Gastgeber verabschiedete sich pünktlich um halb acht, "Ich komme dann gleich wieder!" Das war aber bei weitem nicht die einzige Überraschung. Da der Abend in seiner Fülle nicht nach zu erzählen ist, stellen diese Zeilen auch keinen misslungenen Versuch dar.

Tell me - and I'll forget

Show me - and I might remember

Involve me - and I'll understand!

(via +lohmy)

Zwei Stunden später stellten wir eine Ausstellung im Oberhafen zusammen, waren Wanderer,  Sammler, Kuratoren, Szenographen und Besucher. Christo kann einpacken nach unserer Spontanausstellung im alten Schuppen des Oberhafenquartiers.

Hyperland Republished

Hyperland from mprove on vimeo.
Hyperland is a 50-minute long documentary film about hypertext and surrounding technologies. It was written by Douglas Adams and produced and directed by Max Whitby for BBC Two in 1990. It stars Douglas Adams as a computer user and Tom Baker, with whom Adams had already worked on Doctor Who, as a personification of a software agent. /via Wikipedia

Hang on iPad

Since I am exploring the possibilities of the iPad, I wanted to be able to play the Hang. ThumbJam offers a very good sampled Hang instrument already – but the typical layout of the metal U.F.O. was missing. Orphion recently introduced a layout customization, and virtual Midi allows to send the signals from Orphion to ThumbJam.

Oh yes, BTW, this is my first Prezi'ntation to explain how the things work together.



I've uploaded my Hang and HandPan layouts to the Orphion Universe. It should be easy for you to pick them up.
