Collective physical experiences at remote locations
Kyoko Kunoh (JP/AT)
What telecommunication technology promotes sharing our social presence? With the aim to promote multi-modal telecommunication research in the future, this research carries out a series of the experiments at Ars Electronica Center to come up with various dimensions of the topic in the field featuring telepresence applications and interfaces.
Tele-mobility
Peter Holzkorn (AT)
What parts of physical presence could telepresence replace in the future, and what new abilities could it add? What incentives will it need for its benefits to outweigh the perks of physical travel, and in which cases? In the Ars Electronica Futurelab, we want to foster discussion about this, and create prototypes with promising technologies.
Future Ink Project
Wacom Co., Ltd. (JP), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
The Future Ink Project is a collaborative research project between Wacom and Ars Electronica Futurelab to explore the possibility of creativity from all aspects of ink. The objective of the project is not to find a specific answer but to continuously ask questions and conduct innovative and experimental research that are crucial to envisioning the future of creativity.
Cascade – 8K Future Projects
NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) (JP), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
In Cascade, a series of installations with diverse 8K contents in vertical formats is created to integrate the 8K technology into our daily lives in new ways. Three usage scenarios are defined to represent diverse styles of content.
Social Telepresence
Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
During the 2020 pandemic lockdown, most of the world experienced social distancing. Under these circumstances, digital social presence in any form has become more important than ever, as social interaction is crucial for us humans. The Ars Electronica Futurelab and its partners research new ways to enrich one-to-one conversation, meetings of small groups and big gatherings over a distance.
Ars Electronica Futurelab Key Research Topics
Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
Ars Electronica's research and development department, the Ars Electronica Futurelab, bases its research approach on a transdisciplinary concept: At the interface between art, technology and society and in a constant dialogue regarding the future, it explores the realization of visionary concepts for innovative businesses, social life and the creative sector.
Ars Electronica Futurelab Ideas Expedition
Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
The Ideas Expedition is an internal competition of ideas within the Ars Electronica Futurelab intended to creatively explore the technological and social circumstances of our time. It aims to encourage internal talents and collaborations by allowing the laboratory’s team members to use their creativity and expertise for developing ideas for future projects.
