Onedotzero Adventures In Motion
Interactive Festival Identity With Nokia N900

Ahead of the hotly anticipated commercial launch of the Nokia N900, Nokia’s R&D team have been busy working with a number of partners to explore the creative potential of the new Maemo 5 platform.

Leading digital artists Karsten Schmidt and Gary Birkett have created an innovative Nokia-powered art installation harnessing live online conversations to build an interactive identity that will take over the western wall of the NFT Southbank from Thursday next week as part of the onedotzero_adventures in motion festival, a leading global festival of the digital arts.

Visitors to the festival will be able to twist, turn and customize a 200 square-metre projection using a bespoke UI built by Karsten and Gary, running seamlessly on the N900’s Maemo 5 platform.

Using the Nokia N900 and build in accelerometer, punters will be able to control the live conversations behind the identity – twisting, turning and feeding the aggregated words to help build our first living, breathing onedotzero identity.

onedotzero_adventures in motion returns to london to begin a new residency at the BFI Southbank, presenting a diverse and radiant showcase of commissions, visionary new work and talent. onedotzero's energetic programming delivers a compelling mix of arts, culture and entertainment, bringing together groundbreaking cinematic work, sensory installations, explosive live audiovisual and music performances, stellar screening programmes, in-depth disucssions, presentations and social events.

the festival showcases a tantalising mix of the brightest up-and-coming talents alongside world-leading creative luminaries; an international array of creators who stretch ideas of motion entertainment, where code clashes with hand crafted, street art tussles with technology and new modes of storytelling are unleashed from the small screen to the BFI IMAX. all underpinned by a theme of citystates, a creative inquiry into the idea of how we live in the modern metropolis.
