8K Stream from Immersive Multimedia Labs at PSNC
Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PL), Spin Digital Video Technologies GmbH (DE), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
When 7,680 x 4,320 pixels along with multi-channel sound are transmitted live from PSNC's labs in Poland to Deep Space 8K in Linz using a variety of cutting-edge technologies and prototype hardware and software, even the most experienced Ars Electronica Futurelab researchers' excitement mounts. For the first time in history, international university teams will compete in two formulas: on-site and remotely.
Hybrid exhibition “Algaphon”
Harpreet Sareen (US/IN/JP), Franziska Mack (DE/US), Yasuaki Kakehi (JP), Yasuaki Kakehi Laboratory, The University of Tokyo (JP)
Algaphon is a hybrid installation where algae bubbles that ring at minnaert frequency near algal filaments are rendered audible through a hydrophone. Online visitors can leave a voice message that is translated into photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) variations in a remote aquarium.
Vibrations Matter: Art & Science of Deep Listening
Victoria Vesna, James Gimzewski, Carlo Ventura, Charles Taylor, and members of the Art Sci Now collective members -- Ivana Dama, Clinton Van Arnam, John Brumley, and Paul Geluso
This event addresses vibrations from the point of view of visual and sound artists considering the scientific research into matter, brain waves, human and animal voice, environmental noise and outer space. Our starting point is quantum mechanics -- based on music theory and that nanotechnology is showing us the waves that underlie all matter which many Eastern philosophies have known for centuries.
Video documentation of “Prometheus Bound”
Meiro Koizumi (JP)

The Sound of Clouds and other Sonic Memories
Joel Ong
Since 2015, Joel Ong has been collecting sonic memories through interviews and casual conversations. As part of his Residency with UCLA this summer, Ong turned his attention to sonic memories in the environment, and is collecting these in order to draw attention to fluctuations in the climate observed and remembered through the inter-subjectivities of a diverse group of interviewees.

Innovation & Collaboration between Koc University, UPC and UCA
Promoting innovation and creative thinking processes among the young generations is a key mission of ESPRONCEDA Institute of Art & Culture. This year, in the context of IMMENSIVA, we started to create a collaboration with students of very prestigious creative/ tech universities: CITM-UPC, in Barcelona and Karma Lab/Koc University in Istanbul, under the mentorship of UCA.
That Unseen Vibrance
Yolande Harris
Can our conscious listening effect the world around us? That unseen vibrance. These are dense vibrations, larger than our bodies, larger than our eardrums. They work through us. They present as oceanic. I have a sense of being inside the sound, submerged in another medium, molten, or perhaps growing wings. Of enormous pressure depth yet vibrance shimmer. To dive into the oceanic with our own airborne sounds, feet on the ground, ears underwater. What animal could hear like this?
Humanity & Robotinity x Virtual Worlds
Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
Deep Virtual places the protagonists in an immersive environment that provides an appropriate backdrop for the future alchemists of the Ars Electronica Futurelab. Conceived to produce hybrid media formats, it also allows viewers a joint immersion within a new dimension of virtual worlds, and thus represents a step into the future of Deep Space 8K and Ars Electronica Home Delivery.
