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”).
An interactive simulation environment visualized technological approaches that city planners and architects of the future would be working with. This installation was an expanded spin-off of “Gulliver’s World,” the Ars Electronica Center’s mixed reality environment, and used a simple urban planning model as an example illustrating concrete application possibilities. Visitors could manipulate the various scenarios…
The collaboration between SAP and Ars Electronica has been in place since 2002. This partnership is a prototype for new models of collaboration between art, business, technology and society.

VRizer is a 3D visualization software developed at the Ars Electronica Futurelab which used the latest technology for a graphical representation of data, setting new standards in the field of real-time computer graphics.
In the beginning, there was Humphrey — a mechatronic device that worked in conjunction with a pair of data glasses to simulate flight in a 3-D environment. This installation in the Ars Electronica Center has been a smash hit with visitors since the museum opened, having replaced almost all the exhibits on display there at…
Mixed Reality Installation with visitors as live-projected 3D-avatars.
INSTAR was a unique new approach to navigation systems (for instance, in autos) that went beyond conventional two-dimensional visualizations and utilized augmented reality.
