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.

In „Particle Flow“ by Şehmus Poyraz Birusk, thousands of small arrows can be seen on the ground, all moving from left to right. In addition, you hear noise that resembles the sound of a river. If you enter the room, the flow of the arrows is changed. The particles flow around any obstacle or are accumulated if the obstacle is too wide. One can perfectly immerse oneself in this illusion of a particle stream.
