Multimedia State Prize for Mozarthaus Vienna

19.09.2006 | Austrian State Prize for Multimedia & e-business 2006

checkpointmedia has been awarded the State Prize 2006 for the Mozarthaus Vienna (and  the Category Prize for "Culture and Entertainment").

The jury's comments: multimedia at the Mozarthaus Vienna stands out through its clear concept, the variety of installations and the high degree of knowledge transfer. checkpointmedia has created "A whole new dimension of multimedia presentation of information and entertainment for museum visitors in Austria and Europe".

At the Mozarthaus Vienna numerous multimedia installations present the world and environment of Mozart, inspired by the media technology of Mozart's time: optical experiments and illusions, automatons and mechanical tricks caused the people of the 18th century to gasp in astonishment. The new media of our age take up this theme, enabling visitors to the exhibition to gain an insight into Mozart's life and times using all five senses. The highlight is the virtual tribute to Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute", set in an oversized theatre model with 'mirrored' performers.
