Lánchíd 19 Design Hotel

Blow a wave to the facade and change the hotel's color!
We have built a blowing-sensitive device which is connected to the facade of the Hotel. If you are blowing the device it starts to light and send a data to the facade. After few seconds you can see a wave on the facade that you made.

Live Coding Performance
3rd Sept 8.30 PM
Location: Kitchen Budapest and the international live coding scene
With this event we will realize a technological quartette or quintette performance without borders. There are programers who will perform together at the same time but from different places (from Budapest, Linz and Berlin)
The performance generates music and visuals in real-time, utilizing live coding, which emphasises the expressive possibilities afforded by programming languages as a means for defining and manipulating computational processes. The aesthetics of the performance is determined by the programming method, in which all musical and visual materials are built from elements found on the spot.

About the international Festival:
MEDIA FACADES FESTIVAL EUROPE 2010 will explore the networked possibilities of urban screens and media facades via internet and new technologies on a European level.
The format of the MEDIA FACADES FESTIVAL reflects on the increasing presence of massive-infrastructures with digital visual elements in public spaces while investigating their communicative function in the urban environment.
The festival will show especially developed art projects in Europe-wide Joint Broadcasting Events which aspire to share dreams of the different cities and report about local issues and exchange peoples’ stories and ideas. The media facades will be transformed into local stages and open a global window for cultural and societal processes to create a dialogue and connect the local public virtually with the other places throughout Europe.
