About this project
About this project
This project is a virtual ode to Gustav Klimt, who was a prominent Austrian Symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. We want users to travel back in time, visit the scenic views of Austria and get to know the art and time of Gustav Klimt.
Process & Technology
We are using a technology mix of 3D rendering, 360° panorama photography and photorealistic animation techniques to bring the digital Gustav Klimt double back to life, to let us tell his own story.
The end product will be a web-based tour, similar to a game, where you can walk around in a 360° environment and explore the life of Gustav Klimt interactively. Gustav will be there to help guide you, just in case you get lost.
Innovative Christmas gift rewards
We wanted to be innovative provide all backers with something special and so came up with the following ideas.
-
All backers will be immortalized in the 150th celebration gallery. We will build a large wall with all backer names on this wall.
Christmas is coming soon and therefore every backer will have the possibility to present the 3D tour as a Christmas gift as an online access code, a Gustav Klimt Christmas gift card or a DVD.
Note: All cards and DVDs can be modified to say "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas"
To
make our project attractive to larger communities we came up with the
idea of branding our project by a customized welcome message, your
organizational logo or embedding in your own organizations website.

We are a team!
Elke Aigner:
Gustav Klimt once said "With a woman in love you can do whatever she wants". Elke, our biography researcher and 360° photographer is the mother of two children. She loves art since her young ages and always wanted to open her own art & gift shop. Life is not always straightforward and so it took her till now to save her money to pursue her life's dream. She wanted to do something special for the shop opening and in one of the joint brainstorming sessions with Colin and Alexander the idea of producing interactive greetings cards came up.
Colin Warnecke:
Colin is our architect and 3D rendering specialist. Colin is both a trained architect and an artist and strives to bring the two together. Studying both art and architecture over the past decade, he was the perfect professional for this project.
Alexander Aigner:
Alexander is a computer workaholic anyway. Alexander is a fantastic project coordinator and brings the skills to pull the whole project together in an efficient manner.
