The Alssund Model

  • ABOUT THE PROJECT

    The installation was developed by Interactive Spaces for Sønderborg Multikulturhus in 2017-2018.

A playful interactive model

Sønderborg Mulikulturhus is a new building placed by the harbourside of Sønderborg and fronting the waters of Alsundet. The building serves as scene for Sønderborg’s cultural hub with various activities for the citizens – including Sønderborg Library, The German Library, The Children’s Library and The Southern Jutland Art School.
By using the Alssund Model, you can experience the area in and around Sønderborg in a new way. By using a console, you can go back in time and see how the city has changed in shape and size.

Alssund
The installation is mounted on a wall in the main library. It consists of 20 Philips screens in size 42’’, 49’’ and 55’’ - put together as one huge screen in an irregular pattern with some facing vertical and some horizontal. Together the screens displays one huge map over Sønderborg. By using a special designed controller, the users can navigate in the map and visit various spots of interests. The controller also has a timeline function - where it is possible to scroll through different centuries showing the development of Sønderborg City and varying spots with activities connected to the specific century.
