Smart Tattoos

Katrin Unger (AT)

It is a challenging task to design a flexible pH sweat sensor that is bio-compatible, has skinlike elasticity and is sustainable in acidic environments. In this project, polymer electrodes are ink-jetted or screen printed on temporary tattoo paper and coated with a bio-compatible pH responsive hydrogel via initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition. Such sensors have a remarkable sensitivity to pH. This novel combination allows for a very thin sensor, excellent conformal adhesion to the skin and great pH sensitivity which, in combination, open the door to a wide range of interesting applications.

Code Poetry

Cornelia Travnicek (AT)

The Vienna Code Poetry Slam was established in 2015, inspired by a similar event taking place at Stanford University. Code Poetry celebrates the fusion of human and machine language, the inherent poetry of technology and the poetic possibilities technology opens up for art. It is also a means of self-empowerment for writers, enabling them to be meta-creators of digital art and placing them at the top of the creative process at a time in which computer programs are already generating certain kinds of texts for everyday usage.

Cornelia Travnicek, a computer scientist employed at a research center for virtual reality and virtualization and a renowned writer and poet herself, started a cooperation between the Lower Austrian writer’s association Literaturkreis Podium and the student body of the Technical University of Vienna, which led to the first Viennese Code Poetry Slam being held in the Festsaal of TU Wien in 2015. Admission of contributions to the Code Poetry Slam is open to everybody, just as it is at a typical poetry slam but, due to technical issues, code poetry must be submitted online in advance. The code poetry is then presented at the event and the audience chooses a winner for the night.
