Net Zero with Octopus Energy
2023 | A Hirsch & Mann design for Octopus Energy's Energy Tech Summit
For the Energy Tech Summit 2023, Hirsch & Mann created an immersive experience to demonstrate how the combination of smart technology and a flexible energy system can support environmental sustainability, unlocking the potential for people to save money through their energy choices.
This experience involved the use of dynamic physical props and an interactive animated scene displayed on Outernet’s expansive wall and ceiling screens within their ‘Now Trending’ space.
The animated story takes visitors through a day-to-night cycle, focusing on a household’s energy consumption across 4 different seasons and locations, highlighting Octopus Energy’s increasingly global presence: spring in the UK, summer in Morocco, autumn in Japan and winter in Switzerland. The narrative effectively highlights the generation, storage, and consumption of energy while showing how variables like weather, time of day, and demand impact all three aspects.
Within this project my role was to design the overall electronics system to create 7 physical objects that could be "activated" at any moment by Outernet's Ventuz system.
This included working closely with Outernet's hardware team to expose simple OSC control of each of our custom physical props in the space.
As well as working closely with the 3D design and creative teams to design and create dynamic props.
