Stairs Project: A nonlinear system
Dec 9th
The Project: It is a media object that demonstrates the sensitive dependence of conditions, where every change in a nonlinear system results in a different narrative. The dynamical system displays sensitive dependence on conditions but results as a unique storyline for each viewer.
The Technical Side: The movie is never-ending, never-repeating. It is generated by 4 videos and 1 random variable that decides whether the user moves up or down the stairs. The RND movie checks on every decision, what floor the viewer currently is on and calculates the new floor number he will be on.

Swisscanto – online crossword puzzle
May 1st
- We learned that most puzzle creating software are only able to export 200 questions into 1 file and importing 12 single files into the database was just the first technical challenges, joining the 12 Files into 1 big puzzle was only possible by manual labor.
- Developing a system that offers good performance on this multilplayer platform.
- Everyone is used to fill out crosswords on paper, but how would we develop a navigation and game play that offers the same experience.
After 2 month the puzzle was solved over 50 times, exceeding all expectations.

Parisienne Projects

The new website:
The marketing world of Tabaco is quit different then what we were used to. Everyday important functions like SEO, indexing the webpage, easy access and branding, are not only not desired as well as they are forbidden. The message is very clear, we don’t convince nonsmokers to smoke, we only want to win market share within the group of smokers. For this purpose the whole webpage is behind a login screen and if you wish to register, you will have to confirm that you are a smoker and prove that you are above 18 years of age. Structure wise the goals for the new webpage were to free it as much as possible from flash technology, and recreate the entire navigation system. If you are a smoker in Switzerland and older then 18, have a look.
The <…ienne> tool:
The iPhone app was built around the revolutionary marketing concept of changing the brand name depending on your address. If the user orders 3 pack’s using the <…ienne> iPhone app, he gets to select the name that will be printed on them. The user can select any of the 4000 city names of Switzerland, and like this receive at home 3 packs of “Zürichienne” or “Berninenne” instead of the typical “Parisienne”. The iPhone app is built on 3 simple steps: Locate you address; give you a live 3d preview of what you get; edit the address or complete the order. As a extra feacher we build in a geo-location game, where you will have to pinpoint a selection of 10 random cities in Switzerland, and get rated for you accuracy.
