Das Park Hotel, minimal accomodation in Linz
Das ParkHotel offers room with minimum space volume for maximum comfort in the green heart of Linz. The reservoir under and beside the couch surface (fitted with an Optimo matress) offers some space for your luggage. There’s even a power connection (220 V) for your electrical appliances and a plug for Internet connection.
Sanitary facilities, breakfast area and other hotel amenities are to be found around the hotel: at the Danube park public toilets and at the cafés of Linz city centre.
Book now and pay as you wish (apparently the system works quite well, people leave between 7 and 20 € and sometimes even little presents.)

Saw a video of this at the RCA Interaction Design Show - I loved it! The simplicity of the idea is fabulous, the execution perfect and the video presented at the show, brilliantly done.
Streetclock: “Streetclock , by 3eyes, encourages people to consider the idea of time before digital technologies became pervasive.
Shadows cast by street furniture over urban landscapes are measured in relation to painted road markings.
Referencing sundials, the road markings denote specific times, but at irregular intervals, unlike the uniform markings on a clock-face. The project preserves incidental times such as 10:19 or 5:02. Besides, the ’shadow-lines’, and therefore the reading of time, are distorted by pedestrians.
Streetclock explores the reclamation of urban territories and the way in which these physical and metaphysical spaces can be re-appropriated for, and by, their inhabitants. Streetclock draws on the aesthetic and temporal issues that saturate public spaces.

You know, I’m thinking this has potential for forming the basis of some controllers for the work I am doing with Gojira
KEE: “KEE, designed by Miasnik Shira, is a motion based digital instrument for the performing arts.
The user modifies the digital output by tilting and rotating this wooden intstrument.
Movements can define endless parameters: manipulating Kee in different directions, angles and speed changes different qualities of the animation. Pressing the logo button modifies the presets which define the changes in the animation.
KEE is using Bluetooth and works with a software that translates the movement signals and the audio-visual media.
