d/Archive media catalogue/archive

dLux media arts is one of Australia’s key screen and media arts organisations. The organisation approached Infoding to create an online searchable archive as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations.

With an ever-growing collection of artists, works, programs, articles and publications forming dLux’s history, bringing all these parts together in one place was a great way to showcase dLux’s extensive contribution to screen and new media arts. The archive also functions to provide a comprehensive and accessible Australian screen arts, cultural and historical resource.

Pneumix and Unicorn

Two for one! As Pneumix and Unicorn are owned by the same company, the development of the two sites was streamlined - both sites are based on the same design and have the same functionality.

Infoding developed one CSS template for the two sites to share. Separate XHTML and customised CMS implementations were then developed for each site.

A specially designed dynamic navigation menu was also custom-built for the two sites. It was developed to make the deep hierarchy of information as user friendly as possible. Up to …

File Manager for Flash-based CMS

Design company Biep en Lú developed an original Flash-based CMS, for which they required an easy-to-use file manager.

Infoding developed an integrated PHP-based file manager allowing users to upload files to a web server, delete, rename and preview the files and organize the files in folders. These files could then be displayed through the Flash-based CMS.

McDonald Industries

Property developer McDonald Industries’ website takes prospective buyers virtually into apartments through the integration of Flash movies and other visual displays.

Infoding customised the content management, focusing on ease of administration so that the site could be managed by non-technical staff at McDonald Industries. A manual documenting the content updating process was produced to ensure adoption of the system was straightforward.

Podcast Manager

Marketing and corporate communications company Pearshop wanted to develop an online application for their clients to manage video podcasts.

It enables users to:

• assign podcasts to podcast channels.
• delete and edit channels and podcasts.
• generate podcast files that are automatically iTunes compatible, making it possible to have the podcast channels included in the iTunes Music Store and provide a one-click download of the podcast in the iTunes Player.

Working from a brief from Pearshop, Infoding researched further and drew up a detailed proposal then custom-built the podcast manager using PHP and MySQL.

Eternal Sunset

A commissioned art project by Infoding’s Adriaan Stellingwerff, Eternal Sunset creates the experience of a continuous sunset through the use of live images from existing online webcams around the world.

Due to the high traffic on the site, Infoding built processes to continually download images from the webcams to store in a database on the Eternal Sunset server to reduce impact on the individual webcam sites.

The Flash homepage, permanently rotates through the live images of all available webcams in locations where the sun is currently setting. To
