André Heller Zeiträume
The “Weltzustandsmaschine” is an interactive data installation conceived by André Heller, forming part of a permanent exhibition at Burg Taggenbrunn. The project visualizes global environmental data, translating complex climate information into an immersive spatial experience.
At its centre is a 360-degree spherical display that projects dynamic datasets onto its curved surface. Visitors navigate the installation via a separate touch interface, selecting data layers and timeframes to explore shifts in climate patterns across regions and decades. Datasets are retrieved daily from international databases and arranged chronologically, enabling users to trace environmental change over time.
The sphere becomes both visualization tool and symbolic object—a portrait of planetary systems rendered as an interactive, navigable form. The installation aims to create awareness through direct engagement, offering visitors an intuitive and visually immediate way to experience the scale and progression of climate change.
