Tour Animax, Bonn
With: Dr. Bodo Lensch, Till Bovermann, Rene Tünnermann, Sven Hahne

Two of the main focuses of the Animax are the creation and application of aesthetic perception and game environments by means of multimodal interaction technologies. Collaborative motion- and group-oriented projects are being increasingly accepted by children, parents and teachers. Combining motion- and perceptual components has a profoundly positive effect on motivation, cognition and social behaviour. In the flow of community action, the children develop the ability to observe, organise, and memorise details and to experience spontaneous joy in intellectual tasks. The installations Audiodome Playground and Audiodome SoundBlox – a work developed with the Ambient Intelligence Group at CITEC, Bielefeld University – are being shown.
