Tobias Wallisser will be one of the curators for an international symposium in Ludwigsburg in October. "Raumwelten" examines Scenography, Architecture and Media: How do spaces influence the “user” and stimulate encounters between people? Which messages, narratives, and emotions do spaces evoke?
The Raumwelten Art & Research stream sees international experts, creatives and curators present trends and developments of communication in space in different panels. Wallisser will curate - “Beyond Construction“ – Innovative approaches to space production.

And you can catch a transcript of the talk Tobias gave on the ‘city of the future’ at the re:publica conference here: http://www.tea-after-twelve.com/all-issues/issue01/issue-01/chapter1/city-of-the-future/
German magazine 'HÖRZU WISSEN' has featured a story on the city of the future including an interview with Tobias Wallisser: "Das Miteinander von Menschen und Maschinen, Technik und Natur schafft visuellen Reichtum.“
LAVA's plan to reinvigorate Berlin’s monumental Karl Marx Allee and increase residents’ quality of life is featured in the story. A project LAVA did for "50 ideas to celebrate 50 years of the Art Directors Club" in Germany was used as an illustration of the effects of future city planning on an existing city axis.
LAVA was inspired to use technology to improve the lives of Berlin's residents, by creating more of the sustainable, green space we all need. From ‘Energiewende’ to ‘Energiewalls’: the city as a second nature, where cars, people and wind installations coexist and communicate. A unique opportunity to reclaim the now very car-centric, historically loaded Karl Marx Allee for public good.
LAVA aimed to build a new kind of public space — one that blends old and new, horizontal and vertical while introducing cutting-edge wind technology, enabling a sustainable city life.
