Based in Austria, AT&S is a leading supplier of high-end printed circuit boards and substrates for the semiconductor industry. The company invited the Ars Electronica Futurelab to contribute to the design of the new headquarters – including the installation of an interactive “Nervous System”.
The multi-award-winning Cinematic Anatomy x Deep Space merges MRI and CTR data of real patients into photorealistic three-dimensional images of human anatomy. Organs, blood vessels, muscles, tendon, and more can be viewed larger than life as three-dimensional, razor-sharp objects from all angles.
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.
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.
