Execution: DIDI Students, Faculty and Team

ti(d)es is an interactive installation that explores the power of collective action in keeping with the theme of the Ars Electronica Festival 2024. The installation embodies the concept of presence in absence, where connection and impact are felt across distances through simultaneous engagement between participants in Dubai and Linz.

Featuring projects by DIDI students, ti(d)es promotes productive, impact-driven, cross-border cooperation that fosters a unique form of shared presence between Ars Electronica in Linz and DIDI in Dubai. This collective performance opens new possibilities for shared experiences and deepens connections across geographical boundaries.
