The Ars Electronica Futurelab is dedicated to collaboration and knowledge sharing. We are currently updating our download portfolio to include everything Deep Space 8K – until then you can have a hand at the Ars Electronica Center media facade, tell stories about the future with our card game, or find out that LinzerSchnitte is more than just pastry.
Ars Electronica Center Facade
A Processing library for drawing content on the Ars Electronica Center (AEC) media facade. The library, called AECPlugin, allows you to use standard Processing draw commands to draw directly on the Ars Electronica Center media facade. It creates all the necessary data packages and sends them to a given destination IP/port, where the AEC Facade Simulator and Control software is running.
LinzerSchnitte
LinzerSchnitte is a project created by the Ars Electronica Futurelab to make available the open source hardware and software used to control wide area lighting effects as shown in the Klangwolke 2012. The LinzerSchnitte are miniature controllers that can be activated via radio and launch various commands.
Bridge 2024
Bridge 2024 is a card game for intergenerational workshops as well as innovators workshops where dialogue is fostered with collaborative storytelling of future narratives.
