The Misa Digital Guitar is basically a MIDI controller hidden inside what appears to be a standard guitar. It’s no so standard in that it doesn’t have any strings; instead it contains 144 note buttons and a large touch screen control pad. Since it’s an open source Linux-powered MIDI controller at heart, it can play a variety of instrument packs you have installed on your computer. Let the digital future of shredding commence!

Created by Strukt Design Studio.
To decorate the office space of Büro Hirzberger in Vienna Strukt realised a digital wallpaper that illuminates the walls. In this self-initated project Strukt was given complete creative freedom by the client, and developed a system to project video and realtime content undistorted onto any surface.
The basic idea was to light up the black and white striped office wall by mapping the architecture with multitple projectors. The program developed by Strukt is scripted in vvvv and is scaleable to any number of projectors and any architectural shape. Several different visualisations have been realised already, amongst it a Pac Man animation as well as moving stripes, and more are in development. The content could also be made interactive, reacting to people passing the ground-floor offices.
Very, very neat indeed.
