Appeel is a virus spreading through interacting individuals, it demonstrates the basic principles of interactivity largely reliant on people’s behaviour. A surface is covered by a large number of coloured stickers, positioned in a grid. People can remove stickers, leaving white spots in the layout, as a result individually and collectively changing the walls appearance. These stickers then take on a life of their own, as they spread, extending beyond the installation itself, infiltrating private space and merging the boundaries of public and private and private space.

Freezer Compost Bin - Fuccillo
Never throw food scraps in the garbage again!
The Freezer Compost Bin (patent pending) is green, not gross. It’s the only collection bin for food scraps designed to be kept in your freezer, where your scraps won’t decompose, therefore eliminating odors and fruit flies completely!
It’s also a breeze to empty. It’s made of silicone, which remains flexible even when frozen, making a light push on the bottom all that’s required to pop your ice-cube-like frozen scraps out, leaving nothing behind. To clean, simply pop it in your dishwasher.

TheGreenEyl - Rat Tales
RatTales is an installation with a large floor projection and camera tracking system, creating a space for interaction among people and a computer-generated swarm of rats. Every rat as well as each visitor has a tail made of letters displaying various quotes about rats. The rats will flee from visitors but attack them from behind. With his rat-tail the individual joins a race, he may perceive as a disgust and a threat.
TheGreenEyl - creeping Things
As people enter the first room of the exhibition Kosher & Co at the Jewish Museum Berlin they see themselves behind the surface of a mirror in a space, where they are surrounded by thousands of ants, bugs, flies and bees. In this space these creeping things react to people’s presence and when one leaves the space, they shape the words of Leviticus Chapter 11 Verse 43.
TheGreenEyl - Parasite
parasite is an independant projection-system that can be attached to subways and other trains with suction pads. parasite projects inside films inside a tunnel. these tunnels bear something mystic – most people usually have never made a step inside any of those tunnels. confusing the routine of your train-travelling-journey, your habits and perception the projections parallel worlds – making use of parasite – allow you a glimpse into a different world full of surrealist imagery.
Sunderland Station - Jason Bruges
Jason Bruges Studio’s latest artwork has been unveiled at Sunderland Station. The 144m long piece presents a virtual platform filled with travellers within a glass block wall. The 3m tall glass block wall in the underground train station has been turned into a large low-resolution video matrix (755×15 pixels). Behind the wall is a disused platform, which long ago used to see passengers waiting for trains. Now the tracks are long gone and the old platform is hidden from view., we have created ghostly characters that appear behind the glass wall opposite passengers waiting for the trains.

Hyposurface
HypoSurface is a versatile and hyper-effective display medium that is a pure people-magnet: it draws the eyes because no one has seen anything like it before. It captures the digital ‘mood’ that is in the air, and people are delighted to participate in its intelligent sensuality – they immerse themselves in the wonder of it.
Yet as a digital medium it is able to display any message or logo, all the more effective in their impact because of the surprise of their emergence from the fluid and luminous surface.
