Every summer, the Poolbar Festival in Feldkirch, Austria, transforms an old swimming pool into a two-month-long music festival. Its design is created
annually through the Poolbar Generator: a two-week residency inviting participants to collaborate across architecture, graphic design, spatial design, digital projects, art and literature.
In 2024, the Digital Projects Lab developed interactive visual projections. Displayed at the festival venue at night, they embodied that year's theme, “Hin & Weg” (“Here & Gone”), by reflecting on the ever-changing festival ecosystem. Three visual themes were created collaboratively, each capturing a distinct aspect of the festival’s identity and surrounding environment.
I co-designed the visuals and made them interactive using a Kinect camera, translating visitors' real-time movements into dynamic visual patterns.
