  • Fu(n)ga

    Fu(n)ga

    Tiziano Derme (IT), Nadine Schütz (CH)

    Fu(n)ga is a spatial and bio-sonic experiment that explores the relationship between enzymatic processes with fungi, controlled environments and acoustic vibrations. For the first time, it reveals the creation of space as metabolic growth, stimulated, mediated and supported by temperature, humidity, air and sound. Fungal activity and visitors’ presence are entangled within an auditory landscape…

  • Just asking for a friend

    Just asking for a friend

    Time’s Up (AT)

    How dare you maintain hopeful visions in times like these? Is hope a privilege? Or is hope a muscle, a practice, a ritual or a discipline? An axe, a tactic or a strategy? A distraction, a tangent, an excuse? We take an old saying and modify it to remind ourselves that;I hear futures and I…

  • Functionless

    Functionless

    Wenyi Zhang (CN), Andres Salazar (CO/US)

    An interactive 3D tool exploring how surreal household items can become when we imagine their form apart from their function. The main element of this installation is the connection between the customized software and the analog controller that enables users to craft their own designs.

  • Crab

    Crab

    Kristie Kish (US/HU/PH)

    Crab is a multimedia installation that blurs the lines between realities, technologies and species. An immersive collage-jungle-projection where a friendly, interactive crab follows those passing by, constantly searching for their proverbial inner ocean.

  • FLOCK OF

    FLOCK OF

    bit.studio (TH)

    Blurring the boundary between imagination and reality, helium balloons become a living organism. Sensors, software and physics combine to create a spectacle that redefines our perception of the natural world.

  • Exploration and Exploitation – AI Interactive Video

    Exploration and Exploitation – AI Interactive Video

    Simple Noodle Art (TW): Zi Yin Chen (TW), Hsiang Feng Chuang (TW)

    When AI tailors social media information in a pandering way, does it lead to the formation of filter bubbles, making it difficult for people with different standpoints to understand each other? This work aims to explore whether AI is exacerbating social divisions, when faced with the dilemma of exploring and exploiting humans, through a self-media…

  • Distorted Flower

    Distorted Flower

    Ryo Kishi (JP)

    Distorted Flower explores the dilemma caused by the distortion of fixed concepts. The continuously transforming petals symbolize such deformation at first glance, but from another angle, they appear to be dynamically creating new forms. Distorted Flower poses to the audience the question of whether the distortions of the stereotypes that come with technological evolution are…

  • The Untold Stories of the Chisinau City

    The Untold Stories of the Chisinau City

    The Untold Stories of the Chisinau City combines the history of Chisinau, architectural monuments, storytelling, and technology. This fusion has resulted in graphic illustrations and digital stories, featuring elements of animation, sound and AR.

  • Chronicles of the River

    Chronicles of the River

    Capatina Oxana (MD), Villi Mahnenco (MD), Bogdan Postolachi (MD)

    Chronicles of the River addresses freshwater scarcity in Moldova, where nearly half the rivers are disappearing. The installation invites audiences to reflect on our interconnectedness with nature and the need to protect water resources.

  • Cascade

    Cascade

    Marc Vilanova (ES)

    Waterfalls emit infrasounds, which are vital for the navigation of migratory birds, though inaudible to us. Recent noise pollution threatens this navigation. Cascade attempts to reproduce infrasonic recordings of waterfalls using a series of speakers incapable of emitting such low frequencies. This failure generates vibrations that activate an optical fiber through which the sound “falls,”…

  • Biosymbiotic Exoskeleton

    Biosymbiotic Exoskeleton

    Dorotea Dolinšek (SI)

    In the artificial atmosphere of orbital habitats, the dependence on numerous non-human organisms that make bodily functions possible emerges as a dysbiosis—shedding of the human microbiome necessary for survival—that in the Biosymbiotic Exoskeleton project offers an imaginary pact between the somatic and the biotic.
