Air on Air

Yasuaki Kakehi (JP), Daisuke Akatsuka (JP), Juri Fujii (JP), Yoshimori Yoshikawa(JP), Joung Min Han (KR)

Diese Arbeit ist eine partizipatorische physische Installation. Am Ort der Installation erzeugt, basierend auf den Atemdaten der TeilnehmerInnen, eine Seifenblasenmaschine Seifenblasen. Über einen Webbrowser können sie die in der Luft schwebenden Luftblasen sehen, als ob sie diese selber am Veranstaltungsort anblasen würden. Diese Installation ermöglicht es den TeilnehmerInnen, die Luft an einem entfernten Ort zu spüren. Und sie bietet ihnen auch die Möglichkeit, in diesen Zeiten eingeschränkter Mobilität "physisch" mit dem entfernten Ort zu kommunizieren.

INTERFACING HAUPTPLATZ

In this unique location, the facade of Hauptplatz 8 turns into a virtual window that opens to show the world beyond the square. On several evenings during the Ars Electronica Festival, after the sun has set, different audiovisual projects are projected onto the media facade, inviting festival visitors and passers-by to enjoy and interact with them from near and far. And though originally conceived as an installation planned solely for THE WILD STATE during Ars Electronica, we might see it again in the future.
