Juksel - Die Jukebox der Zukunft

David Gangl, Max Grubauer, Paul Krenn, Julian Kronlachner, Paul Wiesinger / HTBLA Grieskirchen (AT)

Fade – Fate

Sadet Muadini / HBLA für künstlerische Gestaltung (AT)

The animated film Fade – Fate explores the friendship between two comrades-in-arms that ends just as the film begins. One of the two is shot and killed in the war. Still in shock, the friend of the dying soldier begins experiencing flashbacks of their mutual experiences in the past. These flashbacks portray their friendship, marked by moments of happiness as well as episodes of conflict and rivalry. At the end of every flashback, a certain body part of the dying soldier begins to decompose and dissolve, a body part that had played a crucial role in that flashback.

Der Rapper - Die Dokumentation

Haris Beshta Bradaric, Mohammed Elyesa Bilge, Stefan Hromada, Emre Tuncer / HTL Wien West (AT)

In our project Der Rapper (The Rapper), we report on our fellow student and want to find out what interests him about hip-hop (aside from the money that can be made with it), what plans and dreams he has, how he lives, and who his role models are. At the same time, we want to promote him as well with a professional music video on YouTube and a website of his own.

ARTouch

Jasmin Lersitz, Paul Rosenberger, Jonathan Wiener / HTL Rennweg (AT)

While the range of smart-home systems is constantly growing, the selection of control devices remains limited. *ARTouch* is aimed at remedying this problem. Using modern technologies and innovations such as TouchSense, WPS, 3D printing and much more, we have created a device that makes it possible to transform a drawing into a switch. And operating ARTouch could not be easier: it can be mounted anywhere in one’s living space by means of magnets, which allow it to be quickly and easily removed from the wall for recharging.

Ameisen im Haus

Sophie Dögl (AT), Nastasja Stempkowski (AT)

What problems do you struggle with every day? What problems do I struggle with every day?

Robdilo'clock

Benjamin Aster (AT)

Robdilo’clock is a robot I designed, built, and programmed myself that shows the time in a very special way. Using a gripper, it grasps individual segments and positions them in such a way that they display the time in digital numerals. It is thus a robot clock that in an analog manner (with motors) shows the time digitally, which gives it its name: “ROBot – DIgital – anaLOg – CLOCK.”

In Reactio Veritas

Conflict and arguments have existed for even longer than humankind itself, and for many of us, the term “dispute” has a largely negative connotation. In Reactio Veritas is intended to counteract this. The installation uses electroencephalography (EEG) to generate algorithmic artworks that encourage one to see the unexpectedly beautiful and common elements behind the process of conflict resolution.

Samen

Anna Fachbach, Franziska Gallé, Jona Lingitz, Lisa Rass / HTBLVA-Graz Ortweinschule (AT)

SAMEN is an experimental short film on the theme of entering adulthood. As a coming-of-age symbol, we send a boy on a journey through some woods.

Prix Ars Electronica u19–create your world

This year’s u19 exhibition will invite all winners to exchange ideas and projects with each other. Their “homebase” will be the physical exhibition of the projects, where the winners can explain these to other artists and visitors. They will share their talents and show the audience of Ars Electronica Festival their view of possible future scenarios. In 2019, the Prix Ars Electronica's u19–create your world category was divided into two sections. First, ideas and projects could be submitted to YOUNG CREATIVES (up to age 14). This sub-category impressively demonstrates how children can help shape the present and future from their own perspective. For YOUNG PROFESSIONALS (14 - 19 years), innovative lateral thinkers who have developed an artistic or critical project for the world of tomorrow are in demand.
