Multitouch technology has been recently bought into the spotlight by iPhone and Microsoft Surface, although the field has been researched since the '80's.

Using the multitouch wall of Kitchen Budapest we built a couple of simple audiovisual experiments.

The Reconfigurable House is an environment constructed from thousands of low tech components that can be "rewired" by visitors. The project is a critique of ubiquitous computing "smart homes", which are based on the idea that technology should be invisible to prevent DIY.

Reverse Shadow Theatre is an installation created with the Animata real-time animation editor.

Wayang Kulit is the indonesian shadow puppet theatre, in which finely carved and painted leather puppets move behind a screen making the audiance see their shadows only. In our installation the situation is reversed. The role of the elaborate puppets is emphasized, while the visitor is a mere shadow trying to control the puppets by her movements.

Nextlab, Szövetség 39 and Be Light Ltd. realised the architects' vision of a reactive facade. We have developed our own lighting system with new solutions in form, aesthetics and technology. The lighting panels visually unite the two wings of the facade with different characteristics. Furthermore, the software-operated lights react to the noise level of the road creating a sound-responsive artwork governed by environmental effects.

Verba | Signa Popularia is a new media art installation for the Corvinus Univerity of Budapest, Hungary consisting a two storey high LED display visualising the e-mail flow of the university.

The continuously changing e-mail archive is processed using artificial intelligence technologies and language analysis. The collected information is depicted with special tools like the self-organizing map (SOM) and other visualisation applications to create and display a content-based dynamic visual map on the walls of the building.
