Timeline

1963

Eku Wand (born 25 October 1963 in Düsseldorf as Uwe Wand) is a German Designer and Multimedia director.

Wand is a professor of media design and multimedia at the Braunschweig University of Art with a research focus on Interactive Storytelling.

1980

Eku Wand studied Visual Communication in the 1980s at the Hochschule der Künste, now the Berlin University of the Arts.

1990

Pixelpark was one of the first multimedia agencies in Germany in the early 1990s and pioneered the New Economy.

Neef and Wand were later classified as “Internet pioneers”.

With Pixelpark, Wand realized, for example, the interactive sales promotion terminal (kiosk system) MusicMaster for the department store chain Karstadt, which enabled customers to access more than 60,000 music and video titles via touch-sensitive screens.

After teaching and guest professorships in the 1990s at the Berlin University of the Arts, Zurich University of the Arts, Academy of Media Arts Cologne and Bauhaus University Weimar, Wand has been professor of media design/multimedia at the Braunschweig University of Art (HBK) since 2001.

Wand serves as a juror on expert panels and has served on the jury of the LeadAward, Webcuts Award, World Summit Awards, Serious Games Award, iF Design Awards, German Designer Club DDC and the German Design Award.

1991

After working as an art director for computer animation and video production at Cinepool in Berlin, he founded Pixelpark, now Digitas Pixelpark in Berlin, in 1991 together with Paulus Neef, where he was one of the managing directors and creative director.

1993

Wand left Pixelpark as early as 1993 because the development was moving too strongly in a purely commercial direction and the growth of the agency was too fast and he founded the multimedia studio eku interactive, which he still runs today.

Here he conceived and produced interactive new media projects, designed graphical user interfaces and websites for companies in various industries.

As author, director, producer and publisher, he designed and realized edutainment CD-ROM titles and computer games as self-published productions.

Among them the award-winning interactive documentary thriller “Berlin Connection”.

The innovative project of a “digital scavenger hunt” combines documentary material with fiction and adventure game.

Furthermore, Wand produced the interactive multimedia CD-ROM documentary “Berlin in the Underground – An Interactive Journey Through Time Under The Potsdamer Platz” together with Dietmar Arnold, First Chairman of the Berlin Underworlds Association.

Among his best-known works is the animated visualization of poems by Austrian poet and writer Ernst Jandl.

Wand has received awards and prizes for his media design projects at IMAGINA, SIGGRAPH, Prix Ars Electronica and Europrix.

Eku Wand's artistic media design and multimedia works have been featured and permanently exhibited at media festivals and exhibitions, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Vienna Technical Museum in Austria, and the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden.

1995

In 1995, the Bertelsmann Group took a stake in Pixelpark, the company transformed itself into an AG (public limited company) and went public in 1999, experiencing economic turbulence from 2001 onwards, and today belongs to the international agency group Publicis.

2009

From 2009 to 2014, the German Universities Excellence Initiative for the German Games Industry is being created under the leadership of Eku Wand.

In this nationwide unique cooperation, the Braunschweig University of Art and the Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences are jointly breaking new ground in the training of computer and video game developers with the Games Academy in Berlin and Frankfurt.

2011

Between 2011 and 2017, Wand established the Indonesian citizens’ initiative “Save Bangka Island”, which aimed to prevent iron ore mining on Bangka Island (North Sulawesi) and preserve it as a habitat and nature reserve.

Wand designed motifs, organized media appearances and orchestrated a long-term campaign in social media platforms and online media.
