Description
East Art Map Online is a joint effort between the artist group Irwin and Renderspace – Pristop Interactive, the production company I was working for at the time, to bring the East Art Map to the internet as an interactive collaborative database. It allows visitors to post comments, suggest replacements for individual works and read news and articles by participating curators.
The project “East Art Map – A (Re)Construction of the History of Contemporary Art in Eastern Europe” was initiated in 2001 by the Slovenian artist group Irwin. The “East Art Map” (EAM) aims at critically (re)constructing the history of art in Eastern Europe between 1945 and the present beyond ex-Socialist ‘official’ chronicles, national legend formation and fragmented information present in the West.
This was a simple presentation CD for SCT. The requirement was, that they must be able to edit the contents of the presentation themselves. Since most people don’t know about XML or HTML, I had to come up with a way for them to change the sturcture and content without typing markup tags manually. So I created an HTML and XML tree editor for them, but they still insisted I show them how to use it. Well, as it turned out, I left the company soon after that, and although I was willing to do it afterwards, it never happened.
Mercator’s Lumpi brand is aimed at their youngest customers and it’s aggressive product line features everything from baby-care products and school accessories to chocolate, cereals, candy and non-alcoholic champagne for kids(!)
The first prize for the lucky person that finished all 5 levels and was selected randomly from a prize draw was a trip around the world for two people. So the concept was basically, 5 different games that take you an a trip around the world.
Cool&Family is an edition of Polo with semi-automatic air-conditioning, so the ad featured penguins (the other obvious choice would be eskimos).
Subrina is one of those brands that just won’t give up. I remember it used to be the name of Ilirija’s hair conditioner back in socialist Yugoslavia. Acutally, the name Subrina was used as a synonym for hair-conditioner becuase it was the only one on the market. It has recently been redesigned and expanded into a whole hair product line including shampoos, styling gels and waxes, hair colors etc. By the way, if you need a really really really strong styling gel, try Ilirija’s Ehogel.
One of my favourite projects at Renderspace was this sequel to the ill-fated Papilonija game. Papibirint was done entirely in Flash 6 and its concept, design and gameplay was defined clearly from the start. It was also the project where Matevž as a designer, Marko as web programmer and I as Flash developer really hit it off as a team.
SiOL TV is a service that provides “cable TV” over an ADSL connection. The installation can be a bit tricky, especially if you also use ADSL to connect to the internet. That’s where my animated instructons come in, showing you just how many cables you need to set the thing up.
This is a 3D maze game that uses Renderspace’s nice 3D engine and it’s basically a first person non-shooter. You play the part of Papi, SKB’s mascot in the form of a piglet with wings, trying to collect enough money to buy a ball, a skate-board or a bicycle, while avoiding the city traffic.
It’s very hard to make a good Scandinavian-style crossword in Flash.
