Inside Ars Electronica Solutions: Deep Space has a soul. Cubo Negro in Culiacan, Mexico
TUE 21.7.2020 / 4 p.m.
Inspired by ideas and concepts from the Ars Electronica context, Ars Electronica Solutions has been developing interactive products and services for exhibitions, brandlands, trade shows, events and in the field of urban development since 2011: from touch applications to daring prototypes and mixed-reality scenarios. In early 2020, for instance, the Cubo Negro in Culiacan, Mexico, became the world’s second Deep Space 8K to be installed. Michael Mondria, Patrick Müller and Michaela Fragner will talk about the organizational, content and cultural issues that arise when such a high-tech application is transferred to a completely different cultural environment.
Science Talk: About understanding and trust: How the teamwork between man and machine works
WED 22.7.2020 / 4 p.m.
Assembling car seats together. Checking cardboard packaging. Sorting medical laboratory samples. Making decisions. There are many areas in which we will work closely with robots in the future. But what does it take for the teamwork between man and machine to work? How can autonomy, trust and a sense of safety on the human side be promoted? Robot psychologist Martina Mara tells what the trend area of collaborative robotics can learn from psychological theories of trust-building and provides insights into a current research project in which the trustworthiness of robots is being investigated using virtual reality.
