Inside Ars Electronica Solutions: Special Projects in Austria
Michael Mondria (Senior Director) and Harald Moser (Business Manager) will be presenting various projects, implemented in Austria, where the Ars Electronica Solutions team was confronted with very unique challenges and found creative, unique and bespoke solutions to these particular challenges.
Inside Festival: American Arts Incubator – Panel Review
Future of Inclusion Lab is a virtual programme centred on art, technology and community co-creation to address the challenge of social inclusion. During a 90-minute live stream on July 31 via Ars Electronica Home Delivery the Future of Inclusion Lab participants will present their creative results of a month long process using art, technology and community co-creation to envision radical philosophical shifts needed for change.
Second Body Lab: Technology in and on our body
This time on Home Delivery we will get to know the SecondBodyLab through projects like the Alternative Limb Project and IKO Protheses and gain insight into the fascinating world of contemporary body extensions.
Tardi, the Tardigrade: Part 4
Based on the children’s book “Da ist Tardi” in German we go on an exciting voyage of discovery with Tardi in this ten part Home Delivery series.
Deep Space: Religious arts – from the altar to the gigapixel
We explore historical religious arts from Austria through the medium of gigapixel images in the Deep Space to get an insight into this unique art experience.
Family Tour: Understanding artificial intelligence with QuickDraw
How can a computer recognise, what we are drawing? The application QuickDraw by Google has learnt to guess playful drawings – and it still keeps learning!
Artificial Intelligence – On the origins of words
OpenAI, a non-profit organization that researches artificial intelligence, has developed a large-scale AI language model that can create entire paragraphs of coherent text: GPT-2.
Let's play: Become a game character in Deep Space
Deep Space is not just a cinema! Thanks to its ingenious laser tracking system for locating people, the walk-in room becomes a unique experience. In various games you become a character yourself and hunt fish, solve giant puzzles or defend the earth in a spaceship. In "Let's play" the players compete against each other. Who do you think will win?
Family Tour: The World in Containers – cellular biology
What is a human actually made of? Together we will look at the small but active parts of our body and learn about cells and the many functions they have.
Tutorial: Programmable Materials – Textile
By applying geometric patterns onto textiles we can transform plane fabrics into three-dimensional structures.
Tardi, the Tardigrade: Part 3
Based on the children’s book “Da ist Tardi” in German we go on an exciting voyage of discovery with Tardi in this ten part Home Delivery series.
Deep Space: Cultural heritage – rise and decline of advanced civilisations
In the Deep Space cultural heritage is resurrected and presented in impressive images.
Deep Space: Surveying the world – technologies of measurement
In the Deep Space we learn more about sciences of surveying, from the medieval Ebstorf Map to the interactive real time visualisation “Uniview”.
Challenge: Beat the clock in the Open Soundstudio
In "Beat the clock in the Open Sound Studio," musicians and sound artists compete by having to program a track or beat within 10 minutes. The result is then presented and made available for download.
Ghostwriter AI - This is how Artificial Intelligence writes
"GPT-2" is the name of a machine learning model with which the American research group OpenAI has developed a remarkably powerful language system. "GPT-2" is transformer-based, which is the name of a new approach to NLP (Natural Language Processing), in which the system also learns independently which words and parts of a text require more attention.
Deep Space: Singing Sand 2.0 and cooperative aesthetics
Singing Sand 2.0 is a 3D stereoscopic audiovisual work in 8K resolution that was developed especially for Deep Space 8K in the course of Immersify.
Deep Space: Experience outer space
The night sky has always fascinated mankind – when have you last looked at the stars? Thanks to the architecture of the Deep Space 8K far galaxies come close enough to grasp.
Experimental: Inside 3D Printer
In this experimental Home Delivery format we observe the process of 3D printing, which can not just be utilised on a small scale with plastics but also finds application with various materials and scales.
Family Tour: Trax – Intuitive Music Making
With Trax anyone can compose a piece of music in seconds -- for a single instrument, a small band and even an orchestra.
AI x Music: Composing music with artificial intelligence
Join us in the exhibition AI x Music! Here we deal with the encounter of artificial intelligence and music as well as the clash between human creativity and technical perfection. We explore the question of what effects it has when artificial intelligence is used in art.
