ZeitRaum (“TimeSpace”) is an interactive art installation the Ars Electronica Futurelab designed for the new terminal at Vienna International Airport. It creates real-time interpretations of arriving and departing flights.
Das Fassadenterminal wurde vom Ars Electronica Futurelab entwickelt und 2010 der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt: Es ermöglichte die künstlerische Nutzung der Medienfassade des Ars Electronica Center, die mit 38.500 LEDs ausgestattet ist.
“Il mondo della luna – The World in the moon” by Joseph Haydn at the 2009 international Bruckner Festival “Il mondo della luna” has been performed in the Brucknerhaus by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz under conductor Martin Sieghart.
Since January 2009, the Ars Electronica Center has been shining night after night. 38,500 LEDs are built into the Ars Electronica Center’s 5,100-m2 glass shell. Every one of the façade’s 1,100 glass panels thus becomes what amounts to a pixel that can be individually controlled.
As a follow-up to their “Das Rheingold – Visionized” pilot project, the Ars Electronica Futurelab again collaborated with artist Johannes Deutsch on a performance of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony Nr. 2 in C minor as an interactive visualization in three-dimensional space.
Following the successful virtual staging of Richard Wagner’s Das Rheingold (2004) and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony Nr. 2 in C Minor (2006), the series of projects was carried on by a collaborative effort of Ars Electronica Futurelab and the Brucknerfest with a performance of Le Sacre du Printemps (“The Rite of Spring”).
On September 26th and 28th, 2004, a concert performance of Richard Wagner’s Das Rheingold under the direction of Dennis Russell Davies and the Bruckner Orchestra Linz took place in the Great Hall of the Brucknerhaus Linz with an interactive 3D visualization by Johannes Deutsch and Ars Electronica Futurelab.
