realities:united was founded in 2000 by Jan Edler and Tim Edler as a studio for art and architecture. They made their name internationally with projects like BIX, a light and media façade for the Kunsthaus in Graz. The two brothers also set up Flussbad Berlin, an urban design project funded by the governments of Germany and Berlin to open up the Spree Canal in the centre of Berlin for public use.
