HAND WITH EYE
hand mit auge
We work at the intersection of art and technology – immersive spaces, projection art and interactive installations for stage, façade and public space.
MEDIA ART & PERFORMANCE
For over 20 years our team has worked at the intersection of visuals, performance, dance and spatial design – creating immersive experiences in which image, space and body merge into new worlds of perception.
Form and content, playful and free, chaos and control – digital media within a specially adapted environment. Digital structures dream of analogue worlds.
PROJECTION MAPPING & STAGE DESIGN
From façade projections onto Viennese architecture to stage designs for opera and theatre – we think of space as a canvas and the canvas as space.
For 15 years we have developed our own stage sets and spatial sculptures. We treat façades indoors and outdoors as illusionistic stage designs – with a rewarding spatial and architectural context and the routine of countless productions.
Our productions range from architectural video-mapping events and event-accompanying projections to bespoke stage designs.
CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY & PROTOTYPING
We develop bespoke technological solutions for complex artistic projects – from the first idea through the prototype to the final realisation.
Proficient with professional media servers – Pixera, Disguise – and real-time engines such as TouchDesigner, Unreal Engine, Resolume, plus Max/MSP and Ableton Live for sound and interaction.
We build VR and AR environments, interactive interfaces with web UI, generative real-time systems and our own software tools – prototyping as both method and attitude.

SIDENOTE
Form and content, analogue and digital – the interplay of apparent opposites. To the viewer it seems as if digital structures were dreaming of analogue worlds. Since 2011, Hand mit Auge has worked and lived for the visualisation of ideas and feelings and the telling of stories.
