Destructive Introduction

"This short movie contains a project that I made in the neighbourhood i grew up. The old buildings are being destroyed to make room for new ones. For me this means, all my childhood memories, the good ones, are being destroyed. So I felt the need to make this film. Look well and see a face and a skull on the inside walls of the building"  Ulucan

"On refait" le match - Pied La Biche

"Refait" is a remake of the football WorldCup match between France and Germany (Seville, Spain, 1982). Shot by Pied La Biche in Villeurbanne (France), every aspect of the fifteen last minutes of the match was carefully reconstructed : players, positions, gestures, intensity, drama etc. It consists in shifting the traditional game area into the urban environment. Each sequence takes place in one or several locations and then the city temporarily becomes the lab for unsual experiments.
The soundtrack is made up of the original commentaries mixed with interviews of the audience recorded during the shooting.

Stimmungsgasometer - Berlin's Mood

The project Stimmungsgasometer is about a smiley on a huge screen from which one can read the average mood of the Berlin citizens.



The system allows to read emotions out of random peoples faces. The faces are analyzed by sophisticated software (contributed by the Fraunhofer Institut). The obtained mood data are then stored on a server and processed by the smiley on the screen to visualize the emotions in real-time.
