Partners and sponsors

The WALL is the result of collaboration between:

 
The WALL has come about with the financial support of Copenhagen City Council, The Labour Market Holiday Fund and The Heritage Agency of Denmark. In addition, a number of private individuals, businesses and institutions are also contributing to the WALL.

Gibson International and Spild af Tid

Due to the size and complexity of the project, the Museum of Copenhagen launched an EU tender with a view to attracting a more advanced collaborator than could have been found in Denmark. The tender was won by Gibson International, a multimedia production company from New Zealand and one of the world's leading capacities in the development of interactive exhibition installations. Gibson International has developed a completely new and advanced user interface that literally demands that users get involved, regardless of whether they are citizens or guests of the city. Furthermore, the Multimedia artists from Spild af Tid have created an eye-catching design that enhances the screen's power of attraction, particularly amongst its younger audience. Together, Gibson International and ProShop Europe have created a multi-user/multi-touch screen with a precise and reliable surface, thereby ensuring that the WALL will work effectively for up to a total of eight users concurrently.
