Searching for an immersive environment for illustrating human anatomy, the Ars Electronica Futurelab in collaboration with Siemens Healthineers and Prof. Dr. Franz Fellner, Director of the Central Radiology Institute of Johannes Kepler University Linz developed a completely new form of visualization of anatomic measurement data.
The “Fassadenterminal” (façade terminal) was developed by the Ars Electronica Futurelab and presented to the public in 2010: It enabled artistic use of the Ars Electronica Center’s media façade, that is equipped with 38,500 LEDs.
The heart piece of the first main exhibition “New Views of Humankind” in 2009 was constituted by four public accessible labs.
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.
In 2009, the inspiring possibilities of the CAVE technology were the starting point for a new, visionary concept to expand and optimize VR technology for a broad public in the Ars Electronica Center and its constantly growing number of visitors.
