Chasing the Buffalo
What balance of order and chaos inspires us to be creative? How does the spirit of online collaboration translate to physical space? What lessons do open design principles hold for the future of society and sustainable production?

Trend Video: Cosmopolitan Tribalism
We produced a five-minute-long trend research video for BOX 1824, a cutting-edge Brazilian trend research company in São Paulo. Collaborating on the writing and research aspects as well as audiovisual production, we edited together a variety of media assets to portray the emerging global youth cultural movement of Cosmopolitan Tribalism. Drawing inspiration from today's pop music, fashion, art, music videos and commercials, the fast-paced video takes a look at how these cultural drivers are affecting brands and marketing.
Sense Sensitive Design – Tent London
Sense Sensitive Design – Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin
Working together with Norwegian scent artist SISSEL TOLAAS and Berlin design agency NOVAMONDO DESIGN, KS12 is producing audiovisual content for the SENSE SENSITIVE DESIGN platform. The project is in collaboration with the Charité Hospital in Berlin and was presented in September 2008 as part of CREATE BERLIN in the TENT LONDON design festival, and as part of the "20 Jahre Mauerfall – Freiräume" exhibition in the TEMPORÄRE KUNSTHALLE Berlin in January 2009.
In the context of a children's hospital ward, we pose the following open questions to spur our investigation:
What are the audiovisual events taking place in interstitial spaces?
Can a distributed system of observation reveal patterns in a complex system?
Are the limits of visual perception different when one is ill?
What changes in perspective can be gained by empowering children with video technology?
Can video be used to archive personal narrative in a therapeutic context?
How can the content of hospital television be improved?

D. Mark Hip Hop Artist
D. Mark Hip Hop Artist is a satirical yet sensitive portrait of a fictional urban personality whose intentions are easily misconstrued. Despite his attempts to brandish his original attitude and style with flair and candor, D. Mark struggles against the backlash of cultural misunderstanding. D. Mark is played by the tremendously talented German crossmedia artist Frederik Busch. D. Mark Hip Hop Artist was an official selection in the HD competition of the DC Short Film Festival 2008, and was a candidate in the BMW Serie 1. OneVision contest.

Complicated
Cornelia & Holger Lund at FLUCTUATING IMAGES asked Gabriel to contribute a music video for the Vidos DVD release, which accompanies the Dos solo album from MICHAEL FAKESCH (formerly of Funkstörung) released in the summer of 2007 on !K7 RECORDS.
Using original video material we shot off the screens of our vintage microfiche readers combined with select pictures from our archives, we created a unique visualization of the song Complicated which clashed the electronic sound with analog motion graphics.
