I initiated and guided this project of developing new visuals for the 360° projection wall system of the Cocoon Club in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The clubs unique realtime-system is build on a network-setup with 21 projectors and 22 computers running an early version of the VJ System IRIS which is based on vvvv, a graphical programming environment. During a three-month time period, the project team created 20 different patches (vvvv-applications) in several workshops and implemented them into the clubs system. Each patch has different parameters which can be controlled in realtime using IRIS. Finally, the group performed on a friday night event as VJs at the Cocoon Club showing their results.
