Arki

Arki. Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (VÅ UP) Prague, Czech Republic.

I wrote, filmed and produced this 3-minute, 35mm color film on the subject of computer modeling and simulation. The film tells the story of how a young boy's quest to design the perfect coat is finally realized with the help of lego-like electronic modules. The film, considered to be one of the earliest example of wearable computers, was part of a competition package for "Design the Future", Tokyo, Japan, on new ideas in computing. With Mihai Nadin and Michaela Kukovičová.
