Based on the concept of Cooperative Aesthetics, developed by Univ.-Prof. Dr. Gerhard Funk, students of Time-based and Interactive Media Art at the University of Arts and Design Linz and Prof. Funk have created 30 artworks for the Deep Space of the Ars Electronica Center since 2015. These projects will now be presented weekly until July 2021 in the course of an Ars Electronica Home Delivery series. Using the lasertracking system of the Deep Space the artworks enable visitors to have a collective, audiovisual, aesthetic experience.

Sound Mixer by Monica Vlad is an audiovisual work in which participants turn into knobs on a mixing board. To begin, all participants line up against the right black wall of Deep Space. One person should then start walking from the right side of Deep Space 8K to the left side. Lines can be seen and even heard on the wall and floor. When the other people follow, a sound installation is gradually built up and the lines on the wall and floor can be seen in different colors.
