Infinity – ∞
Es wird nicht mehr besonders lange dauern, dann wir der Röhrenfernseher genauso eine obskure Technologie sein, wie das Grammophon, Telegraphen (beide mit ph!) oder Palms. Unsere Kinder werden diese riesigen Kisten anschauen und uns fragen, ob wir denn mit dem Platz in unseren Wohnungen und Häusern nichts Besseres anzufangen wussten, als ihn mit Darstellgerätschaften zu…

Festival impressions from the Museum of the Future
Inside the Deep Space the BIG PICTURE and its oversized presentations had their reasonable space. The exhibition “Out of Control” acquiesced well into the festival like the three Klangwolken stations of the museum: The ABC workshop, where visitors had the possibility to create their own illuminated letters for the voestalpine Klangwolke, the SoundLab, our own…

ABC Werkstatt
The word is out: preparations have already begun on the 2012 voestalpine Klangwolke. Everybody is invited to lend a hand staging this amazing event. You can display your musical talent by recording and submitting your own soundcloudminiature. But letters of the alphabet are also an essential element of this year’s extravaganza.

On Telecommunications Data Retention by Peter Burgstaller
The law in force since April 1, 2012 that requires public telecommunications service providers to record data about network users’ activities including their geographic location when such activity occurs and to store that data for a period of six months is difficult to reconcile with our constitutional guarantees of the confidentiality of personal data and…

Out of Control – What the web knows about you
Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google (there’s probably no need you provide you with a link here, right?), recently gave a detailed and comprehensive account of some of the looming threats and his critique of them. In this connection, he regards closed systems like Facebook and Apple’s Appstore as discrete domains that make…

Pictures right out of your head
Every once in a while, you’re watching at a scenery so beautiful, that you want to capture it and show it to your friends. More often than not, there’s a camera around, but there’s also the romantic way of painting the whole sensation. You pick your brush or pen, start to fill the paper with…

Favorites: Brain Computer Interface
My favorite installation at the Ars Electronica Center is the BrainLab’s Brain-Computer Interface. BCI establishes a link between the human brain and a computer. It’s similar to an electroencephalogram (EEG), a measurement of the brain’s electrical activity. You put on a special cap studded with electrodes hooked up to cables, and they transmit the activities…

BioLab, an Introduction
BioLab closely resembles the typical picture people have in mind of a laboratory. Here, you’ll find all sorts of equipment, stuff that most of us would have a hard time telling apart from a coffeemaker or a fridge. Test tubes and containers holding seedlings and specimens adorn the shelves. But there’s one big difference between…

Science Days, Review and Outlook
Biology made the start. The visitors, teachers, pupils, physicists and others had the chance to try out things like DAPI-Coloring (the coloring of cells), the visualisation of DNA or check out what their bodies look in detail, using a scanning electron microscope. The next Science Days will be on February 11th and 12th and will…

Favorites: TWAN-Globe
I’m a photography enthusiast, so of course my favorite installation is the TWAN Globe in GeoCity. A touchscreen lets users rotate the sphere bristling with digital pins that mark the spots on our planet’s surface where the shots that make up “The World at Night” exhibition were taken. There are 84 of them, each one…
