Seeper is an arts and technology collective. Founded in 1998 seeper’s nucleus is the pursuit of essence. Exploring natural user interaction and ubiquitous computing to create multi-sensory experiences and memories.

The integration of computers into our lives has seen us learn and develop physical skills and languages centered around the use of devices such as the mouse and the keyboard. Now we have the opportunity to reflect on this history and realise that we can interact with computers in much more intuitive and expressive ways. At seeper we are exploring the use of gestural air and touch integration to allow a new range of interfaces devices and experiences for users.

As one of the final events for the Vimeo Festival + Awards, and thanks to the generous support of the new Honda CR-Z Sport Hybrid, you are getting treated to some of the most technologically advanced eye candy in the world. If you’ve never seen projection mapping before then you are in for a sweet, sweet surprise. Seeper, the talent behind Battle of Branchage will be bending minds with a projection performance that will transform the facade of the iconic Frank Gehry designed IAC building in ways you never thought possible.

Developing Public Library Systems

Analysis of Uganda’s existing public library system as well as demographic analysis of the regions in which the system has developed.  The diagrams focus on two major conditions in the country: the rural and the urban library with the major difference between the two systems being the delivery of information.  Urban libraries operate in a manner traditional way by providing a central location which must be visited in order to gain information [by checking out books, reading periodicals, newspapers, etc].  The rural system operates through “book drops” which delivers books to a central location in the rural environment from which patrons can pick up and bring home the information they need.  Success of the two different systems can be measured by the changing literacy rates over various age groups.
