To wrap up the KMS TEAM anniversary year, we took our award-winning interactive installation and turned it into an app for smartphones and tablets. Just like its »big brother« the app offers countless design possibilities: Combine your personal portrait, colors, typography and stylistic elements to create motifs with a distinctive graphic expression. Design unique motifs, save your artwork and share it with family and friends. Enjoy!
LICHTGESTALTEN – The installation
Our cross-media application »LICHTGESTALTEN« combines spatial experience with design and digital innovation with analogue reproduction, transforming 60 seconds into a lasting impression:
The massive installation, measuring 6 x 4 meters, was the focus of the KMS TEAM anniversary event at Museum Villa Stuck in Munich. All guests had the opportunity to individually design a high-resolution portrait using intuitive gestures. There are over eight billion ways to combine this personal portrait with colors, typography and stylistic elements to create truly unique motifs. During the event, the data from the installation was projected onto the event stage in real time. The resulting picture was generated in PDF format, could be shared on Facebook and was also printed as a DIN A0 poster.
