Trying to bridge the gap between common headphones and expensive systems, cat-x decided to develop a cost effective hand-held monophonic speaker system for museums in cooperation with AWS-design. 

Since the product was launched in early 2011, it has been implemented in numerous museums in Austria and Germany.

Aside from the larger scale projects, cat-x has recently provided equipment and know-how for some notable exhibitions and museums:

In addition to these exhibition projects, we programmed a website for the art history departement at the University for Applied Arts Vienna. The website was launched recently and can be found at http://www.angewandtekunstgeschichte.net/ 

In collaboration with Satu Herrala and Verena Holzgethan, our long time partner Hannes Köcher developed a performance-installation for the dance festival "Stückwerk 09", building traces of various environments to explore the bond between memory and space.

Performances are on June 18th through June 20th, starting at 20:30, Tanzquartier Wien-Studios.

media installation by Hannes Köcher, Hofburg Wien

"Next Please" is an automated video mixer that records and remixes the faces of it's viewers. A monitor continually shows a collage of faces and face fragments. A webcam is mounted in the frame and on the attached computer the software tracks visitors by recognizing and recording faces.
The monitor was mounted in a golden frame and the ever changing picture was shown as the next president in the Austrians Presidential Gallery at the Hofburg, Vienna.
