PICNIC is about innovative ideas for business, people and society. It is a platform that brings together people from diverse backgrounds who like to exchange ideas and insights and are keen to expose themselves to ideas outside their own area of expertise. PICNIC offers an online meeting place to do that through the PICNIC Club, our online community, and the PICNIC News Network (PNN) that offers inspiring, crowdsourced and co-hosted content.

In addition PICNIC also organizes off line events, culminating in our annual festival in Amsterdam. During three intensive days we mix creativity, science, technology, media and business to explore new solutions in the spirit of co-creation. Curious minds eager to exchange knowledge, ideas and skills gather at PICNIC and leave with a new perspective on what is possible.

SINTRA, PORTUGAL, 2011-07-11
We just returned from a trip to the Museum for Natural History in Sintra (near Lisbon, Portugal) where one of the Globe4D models is already on permanent displays since nearly 3 years now.

Sintra’s Natural History Museum is located in the historic centre of Sintra’s Old Town, on Rua do Paço, in a 19th century building (1893, more specifically). It houses an ongoing public exhibition which emerged from the collection belonging to Miguel Barbosa and his wife, Fernanda Barbosa, who, for over 50 years built a unique collection comprising thousands of fossils of incalculable cultural and scientific value.

SANA’A, YEMEN, 03-2011
In March 2011 we completed our work for the Geology Museum in Yemen’s capital Sana’a. Despite the delicate situation in the middle-east the past few months our visit to Sana’a to setup the system went smoothly. Our gracious hosts even showed us some of the sights in this ancient city. The Globe4D in the Geology Museum in Sana’a is the first Globe4D to have both an Arabic and English version. We are very proud to have a Globe4D system placed in one of the oldest permanently inhabited cities of the world.

Globe4D in Mannheim @ Technoseum

companje — Wed, 04 May 2011 08:04:42 +0000

After it’s 6 month stay at the Max Liebermannhaus in Berlin as part of the Energie = Arbeit exhibition their Globe4D system was moved to it’s new permanent location at the Elementa 3 exhibition in the Technoseum in Mannheim. The Technoseum is located in the large and modern Landesmuseum fur Technik und Arbeit building close to the centre of Mannheim. This particular Globe4D, also known as ‘der Energieglobus’ among the Technoseum staff, received some adjustments to its graphical interface to make use of the higher 1920×1200 resolution the Technoseum projector is operating at. We are quite happy higher resolution projectors are now a lot more affordable than a few years ago.
