Numbers, character and signs play a crucial role in jewish culture. The exhibition “10 + 5 = God. The Power of Signs” by the Jewish Museum Berlin explores that role from various perspectives like religion, science, art and everyday life.
In 2003 ART+COM was commissioned to create a media installation that tells the story of around 100 numbers. In the following months “floating.numbers” turned out to be a very daring and struggling project, that questioned and changed traditional design processes. »

With this project I entered the world of Java and OpenGL. Before that I was mainly programming with Director and always woried about the bad performance. But with Java and OpenGL I could animate hundreds of elements. This led to a totally different view on design with code. Code really became a material. Everything felt much softer, almost like using clay.
Any comments?
