In the Humboldt Forum, the new address for art and culture in Berlin, visitBerlin‘s Tourist Info has opened its latest branch - and with a completely new look. The iconic and modular space concept combines design, sustainability and maximum flexibility. The central element of the space is a floating media installation that marks the start of the exploration of the city.
At the centre of the action: a floating projection cube, reminiscent in proportions and colour of the copper-mirrored façade of the legendary Palast der Republik. Berlin‘s diverse faces and stories are projected into this shiny metallic installation as a moving Berlin panorama. Thousands of copper-coloured chain links form a perspective-distorted cube, which is complemented by dynamic 3D animations.
These are staged by track spotlights with different beam characteristics, thus enhancing the spatial effect and staging an eye-catcher.
Even with a distant effect, because viewed from outside, diffuse light patterns attract attention and arouse the curiosity of visitors to the Humboldt Forum.
