ÖBB Kulturschiene

Developed for ÖBB’s Kulturschiene program in Salzburg, this project transforms the façade of the central station into a responsive media surface. The installation uses projection mapping based on a 3D scan of the building, with a real-time particle simulation that traces and accentuates the architectural contours of the structure.

Snow-like particle fields flow along structural lines and continuously shift into new formations, creating an ambient visual layer that reacts to environmental input. Visitors interact through a station model equipped with 3D sensing and microphones—hand gestures and breath subtly influence particle behaviour, introducing a calm, physical dialogue between audience and architecture.
