Wieden + Kennedy London: onedotzero identity
Wed 9 - 13 Sun Sep
Onedotzero are working in collaboration with creative agency Wieden + Kennedy for this year’s festival identity. The heart of onedotzero’s festival thematic of 'convergence and collaboration' inspired W+K’s idea to take advantage of onedotzero's vast fan base and constant, global, online conversations to create this identity. Harnessing and bringing together these live conversations from a diverse range of social networking sources. These aggregated words and opinions are being channelled via specially produced software [devised by computational designer Karsten Schmidt] colourful strands of text move organically and gravitate towards invisible paths that will ultimately mirror onedotzero's font and logo: a living, breathing identity that encapsulates the themes of the festival that is driven by our audience. W+K are also working on an interactive installation that will run for the duration of the onedotzero_adventures in motion festival.

Graffonic: virtual spraypaint
Wed 9 - 13 Sun Sep
Electronic graffiti system using video tracking and a laser pointer that’s able to generate images as a reactive work of art, a zone where physical gestures directly interact with the abstract and the immaterial giving users control to create their own expressions. The creators Andre Rangel and Anne-Kathrin Siegel say: "interaction becomes communication or even conversation."
