Melbourne-based installation artists ENESS bring a new perspective to action sports by fusing interactive art with skiers and snowboarders flying through the air. To achieve this spectacle a 21′ inflatable sphere hovered between hits as proprietary software mapped 3D visuals onto the snow and sphere. Riders were tracked via an infrared camera as they flew through the air.
Magic Carp-pet rug and coffee table set designed by Australian designer John Leung and Clarke Hopkins Clark Architects.
“The graphic apparition, replacing the traditional fish tank, is also a nod to the decreasing abundance of our most precious natural resource – water. Mythologically, the carp symbolises bravery and fortune. Linguistically, the ‘carp’ becomes a humorous extraction of the ‘carpet’ that reveals this intriguing little conversational piece on the floor.”
Check out this article in the recent issue of the Spiegel that came out today. The first column pretty much states the outcome of our efforts for the presentation to the FIFA delegation.

you can find more Pictures from our 3D Supporters: http://www.glarestudios.de/html/fifa2022.html who once again did a great job in visualizing the breathtaking stadia and lots of other stuff in the way they always do – AMAZING!
on our way to rule the world we invited some new faces to our circle of trust. And more are coming. The first group of new supporters of our evil plans are, from left to right: Interface Queen Birgit, 3D Slave Tassilo, Poor Intern Julia, Ventuz Nerd Arne and Design Freak Thiemo.
May the force be with you, young Ventuzians – and don´t forget to press ctrl+s
and finally we don´t have to keep it secret anymore. Remember our Club Med Doha holiday (see post of 2. July 2010).
Well, we weren´t really on vacation. On our secret mission to make the world a better place, we spent weeks and weeks in order to create a master-minded idea to convince the FIFA delegation that came to Qatar in September 2010 to vote for Qatar as a host for the 2022 Word Cup. And see:
It is the same place!!! And this is what was inside it:
Thanks to everyone who was involved: lead agency atkon, dan pearlman who did the interior design of the pavillion, sigma from Düsseldorf who were responsible for the entire technical set-up inside and to our dear Carmen from the Qatar 2022 Bid Committee, who spent days, nights, weeks and months with us in Germany. The outcome was breathtaking and obviously so thought Fifa. Congrats to all of us – we did it!!!
