Work

ATTRIBUTE was given the task to develop a new concept and implement a technologically sustainable solution for GDS.FM. In collaboration with Michel Luarasi we redesigned everything from the ground up starting with a revamped sitemap, a fresh new layout and an overall simplified user experience. The new design puts GDS.FM in its deserved light and welcomes all visitors to its main areas: Music, artists and events.

Streaming against isolation: a platform from Zurich is combining the creative forces that emerge from the shutdown. kapsel.space is an independent platform that provides a curated collection of live streams. The purpose is to provide support and visibility for cultural and activist actors in times of quarantine. The collection of live streams will be archived on our platform.

VOLUMES is the only swiss independent art publishing fair. The alternative book fair serves as a platform for independent local, and international publishers of art books. VOLUMES also presents minimal editions of artists who publish and produce their work by themselves. The website works as a communications platform of the art book fair fulfills several functions: Interested parties are able to get information on the current edition, a collection of books is displayed, as well as an archive of past editions is made available. Artists and publishers can apply for a table at the upcoming fair with a form we created specifically for this purpose.

In 2015, the alternative and cross-genre music festival PERLATON got its website from ATTRIBUTE. PERLATON is a small and locally based festival with a versatile program with the aspiration of promoting young and musically experimental projects. The website’s purpose is to provide both a program overview and background information on the artists. Furthermore, it serves as a source of informations to potential sponsors and funding institutions as well as an opportunity for private patrons to get actively involved. Aside from an overview of the upcoming and present festival program the site features an archive of all the past festivals. In the development of this website we collaborated with BADESAISON.

Curator and performance artist Robert Steinberger ist part of the artist collective FRICTION. He curated group exhibitions in Perla-Mode and Gessnerallee. He performed at the LISTE Basel, Stadtgalerie Bern, Réunion, and at the art institute in San Diego. We realized this portfolio website working closely with graphic designer Krispin Heé. In order to do justice to the diversity of the project we built the site in a modular fashion. One focus has been put on the typography used within the website’s structure. Text outlines are the central element of this website. We implemented an intro animation on the home page.

Together with Kantonsspital Aarau, the association AkutKultur created the cultural project Kulturspital. Every two days, patients suffering from kidney disease spend up to five hours on the dialysis unit. Volunteers work with patients individually and provide creative impulses: From conversation, to literature, painting, music, and handcraft. The one-year pilot project Kulturspital - Spitalkultur benefits patient satisfaction, offers new perspectives and counters social isolation. The smaller projects that have evolved out of Kulturspital are documented on the website. On a blog the overall development of the project can be traced. We integrated a donation system on the website. Patrons can donate using their credit card to Kulturspital.

In 2016, we realized a portfolio website for photographer and graphic designer Lea Fishlin. Ranging from Books to political poster campaigns, the website features the whole variety of her works. The unconventional and flashy layout is accentuated Thanks to a general structural reduction and thus highlights the visual material within this one-pager. The website was designed by Lea Fischlin herself.

re/fugium is an interdisciplinary one-time project that took place in Valle di Blenio, Ticino in the summer 2016. During two months a small group of artists, politicians, historians, programmers, etc. retreated in a discarded chocolat factory to discuss the generation Y and the future of our cohabitation – intentionally open-ended and thus detached from the usual performance pressure. The website’s primary purpose iswas to present the project and make it accessible to funding institutions. The site is structured in a very simple way: It is a one-pager starting with a complex fullscreen intro-animation. The graphic designer Christof Täschler created the CI and design.

Park Platz (“parking space”) used to be , as the name suggests, a parking space – until a small group of culture professionals decided to take care of this small piece of land. By now, Park Platz has become an open space away from a commercial use of space. It has become a laboratory for developing new ideas that would not be possible anywhere else in Zurich. The space is being shaped and maintained collectively and offers possibilities for interested, creative, and engaged people to carry out cultural projects and workshops. Aside from that, the plot has become a meeting place, a garden, a playground – with its very own café. The website – which we developed in close collaboration with Studio Sirup – is an agenda, as well as a platform for communication and networking. Interested parties get information on the unusual project and upcoming events. The site also features an archive that documents past projects.

We implemented a portfolio website for the Zurich-based artist and curator collective FRICTION. The website highlights the collective’s current work and documents the diversity of its art and performance projects. Since the collective works on a project-based approach it was conceptually important to uphold the older content graphically – despite irregular updates. In order to achieve this we worked closely with the graphic designers Badesaison. The websites intro consists of videos by the artist Esther Mathis. The collective communicates mainly over social media and has an affinity for images. In “Media” various images and texts are displayed which are directly linked to Facebook and Instragram.
