BreakfastInMotion—Behind the Code
BreakfastInMotion: Behind the Code—Intelligence, Interaction & Innovation
Kickstart your morning at BreakfastinMotion—our casual networking spot where startups, entrepreneurs, and creatives from MotionLab.Berlin and beyond connect and exchange ideas.
This edition features three innovators working in immersive art, kinetic engineering, and AI with real-world impact. From multimedia worlds and large-scale installations to autonomous systems built for extreme environments—get ready for a morning of inspiration, cross-disciplinary exchange, and a behind-the-scenes look at how ideas turn into reality.
Here are the speakers you will meet at this breakfast:
- Nicholas Perillo — Founder, AUGMENTL Studio & Head of Technology PortalsNicholas Perillo is an award-winning artist and designer from Melbourne, Australia, and the founder of AUGMENTL Studio, where he creates immersive multimedia artworks that merge cutting-edge technology with visceral artistic experience. His journey from traditional product design into speculative, boundary-pushing art led to the creation of the original MORPH prototype and, more recently, his work on project Portals, a global initiative turning digital archives and collective memory into living, interactive experiences. At BreakfastInMotion, Nick will share his latest projects and an inside look at the evolving world of tech-driven art.
- Philipp Helldorfer — Founder, Helldorfer EngineeringMechanical engineer Philipp Helldorfer brings deep expertise in mechanical systems, product development, and large-scale media technology. After early technical experience at Bosch, work on industrial 3D printers at BigRep, and six years developing kinetic winch systems at WHITEvoid (featured in shows like ABBA Voyage London and Dark Matter Berlin), Phil founded Helldorfer Engineering — a flexible network of specialists building complex media art installations and innovative physical products. He will speak about recent engineering projects, his approach to large-format technical creation, and his collaboration with Nick on Portals.
- Frederik Wegner — Founder, Cerepal AIFrederik Wegner is the founder of Cerepal AI, a company building autonomous, AI-powered systems for some of the world’s harshest environments. Currently focused on intelligent demining technology, Cerepal AI develops solutions that bring machine intelligence into real-world scenarios where reliability and safety are critical. Frederik will share insights into autonomy in extreme conditions, the challenges of deploying AI outside controlled environments, and will give a live demo of the Cerepal system.
