Reactive || Interactive Particle Waves
Asma Lamiri (AT)
Reactive || Interactive Particle Waves is an immersive experience that was developed specifically for the Ars Electronica Center’s Deep Space and can be perceived as both a stationary audiovisual experience or be walked around, through and between as a dynamic, audioreactive particle garden.

Circles
Anna Moser (AT)
Circles is an audiovisual experience developed for the Ars Electronica Center’s Deep Space. The generative art installation utilizes simple shapes and movements to animate the environment and create a series of visual effects. The project aims to captivate and gradually relax the audience as they watch how the circles form numerous shapes. The accompanying music encourages participants to become calm, listen, and let themselves be fully drawn into the magic of the moving circles.

Burning Trees
Eric Thalhammer (AT), Julian Salhofer (AT)
Burning Trees is an interactive art installation developed for Deep Space that models the relationship between humans and nature. The core element of the experience is the music, which reacts to how people move in the room. The more the participants push back nature, the crazier and more artificial the music and visualization become, to a point where it starts destroying the forest.

Is it you, my dear AI or is it me?
Bruckmayr_Dorninger (AT)
In "Is it you, my dear AI or is it me?" Wolfgang Dorninger works with small sound tools that he soldered himself, but also with autogenerative, software-based sound modules. These are tools he uses to trigger inspiration. Didi Bruckmayr dreams with the machines, which send messages to each other. As then he marches along a beam into the abstract landscapes of the ”signed distance fields.” Sometimes he ”speaks in tongues” and all this in real time 3-D.

3D Cartography of COVID-19 Research
Ars Electronica Research Institute Knowledge for Humanity k4h+ (AT), exploration space / Austrian Academy of Sciences (AT)
More than 600,000 scientific articles on the virus have been published to date, with most of them having been written since January 2020. In order to grasp the magnitude of this literature and reveal the invisible (net-)work of scientists behind it, we made use of artificial intelligence to create a three-dimensional data visualization that displays all of these articles as luminescent spheres.

NAKED AI
Cisco Italy s.r.l (IT), Logotel (IT)
What happens when artificial intelligence (AI) and human creativity intersect? Naked AI, a research project created and launched by Cisco Italia and Logotel, looks at how this encounter can lead to an evolution of human relationships, in companies and in society at large. There have already been encounters, and confrontations, between human creativity and AI.

New Horizon
Resch Oliver (AT), Veith Florian (AT), Kronsteiner Philip (AT), Maureder Christoph (AT)
Nowadays, everyone uses their smartphone to carelessly send sensitive information, while blindly trusting the systems in the background, without knowing what is happening behind the scenes. We aim to enable people to follow their data by showing everyone how the transfer works in a comprehensible and interactive manner. This is done by using a person tracking technology within the AEC Deep Space 3D environment.

Quiet Gesture Towards
Juan Pablo Linares Ceballos (CO)
Quiet Gesture Towards is an interactive installation that explores images as gestures performed in space, and wonders at the experienced feeling that constantly shapes and constructs them from what remains in our memory and hopes, to push us towards shared and desirable collaborative futures.

Cooperative Aesthetics
Zeitbasierte und Interaktive Medienkunst, Kunstuniversität Linz
For the fourth time, new projects on Cooperative Aesthetics will be presented in Deep Space during the Ars Electronica Festival, to enable visitors to share an audiovisual aesthetic experience.

Deep Space 8K
Ars Electronica Center (AT)
The Ars Electronica Center offers its visitors something that cannot be found anywhere else in the world: 16 x 9 meters of wall and another 16 x 9 meters of floor projection, laser tracking and 3D-animations make the Deep Space 8K something very special indeed. Furthermore, Deep Space 8K presents challenging infrastructure to media artists.
