Football Globe Germany

tagged as: digital and football, installation, meso, tracking, Video Game, vvvv,

During my internship at meso I had to do an interactive game (together with Sven Bauer) for recording corner flag dance in front of the football globe germany, on its worldwide tour (Tokyo, Paris, Milan, Zürich).

To quote the meso documentation:
“Football Globe Germany is an object that is more than just a striking symbol – it is likewise an interactive source of information that also delivers fun and games, a hands-on experience that gives firm shape to the joy of looking forward to the World Cup. People interacting with it become part of a global community that expresses its enthusiasm for football – in keeping with the World Cup slogan A Time to Make Friendsâ„¢. The 9m high media sculpture is a living meeting point for the local population and visitors to the international host cities, enhancing the night-time feel of the city with a wealth of fascinating lighting effects.

The digital centerpiece - next to two info-browser stations - is a corner flag dance game. Show off your love for football by celebrating a goal like the pros - with a little dance interlude on the corner flag. Your performance will be recorded and broadcast via FootballGlobeGermany.com. Needless to say, in karaoke-happy Japan we’ve seen quite a few spectacular appearances already.”
