The UFO-game concept: "Controlling a UFO by using intuitive hand movements and gestures, the primary goal of this game is to move objects around and place them in the correct position using a tractor beam. As a first mission your task is to build the Great Pyramids of Giza. To succeed will require eye-hand coordination, fine motor and simultaneous movement capacities in a straight-forward and fun way."

"The Emography application is an interactive experimental visualization prototype, intended to run on large multi-touch screens. It analyzes twitter-data by specified geo-locations, and projects the results as a number of donut charts onto a world map. One chart for each specified location makes it possible to compare places and look for emotional patterns, based on personal preferences or for example world events."

"The amazing stroke machine is an incredible drawing machine!
Built out of (mostly) scrap material, it visualizes your screams.
Your honks.
Your inner feelings!
The result will be a unique artwork, for you to take home.
So go on, go crazy on those levers, handles and cans!
Maybe you can you master The amazing stroke machine?"
Analogue inputs digitally mapped to physical motion. Follow video to Youtube for more explaining footage on this machine.

Energy futures: My morning routine from Kiran Nelgen on Vimeo.
"My morning routine is taking place in a future where unlimited energy is a fact.
It exists according to the premise of "More energy = more artificality".
Our undrainable energy source provides us with possibilities, encourages us to produce more artificiality. Bigger cities and faster cars. Indoor beaches and solariums. More powerful TV-sets and a more efficient detergent.
This artificial world brings new standards and norms. New products, and new services.
This technocracy rules our civilization.
What new needs will it bring upon us? And what will it make you do?
