CONNECT!

Liane Décary-Chen (CA) | Marina Díez Pereiro (ES/GB) | Moderator: Sara Lisa Vogl (DE/CA)

Initiated in 2020 by Sara Lisa Vogl, VR expert, artist and co-founder of Women in Immersive Tech Europe, and Goethe-Institut Montreal, these network meetings aim to highlight and virtually connect women and gender-marginalized people from Europe and North America working in the creative industries and around immersive technologies to create new international connections and foster potential cooperation.

Crash me if you can

Ahmed Alshenoudy (EG), Nikolaus Hofer (AT), Alexander Maletzky (AT), Bernhard Schenkenfelder (AT), Stefan Thumfart (AT) — all working at RISC Software GmbH

We often blindly trust AI-based systems for traffic sign recognition — but where are the limits of machine perception? In Crash Me If You Can we playfully get to the bottom of this question. Visitors have the opportunity to manipulate traffic signs to make a racing car fly out of the curve on a miniature racetrack.

Demokratie Repair Café – Society and Technology

Zukunftsrat Demokratie (AT), European Public Sphere (EU), Constitutional Innovation Hub Graz (AT), Bayrisches Forschungsinstitut für Digitale Transformation (DE), Technische Universität München (DE), Open Innovation in Science Center, LBG (AT)

All parts of society should be able to participate in the development and deployment of technologies. The European Public Sphere is a space where people are free to enter, discuss, listen and leave. We propose visitors take part in a world café to gain insights about creative communication, different democratic decision-making processes and dynamic facilitation.

LIGHT SOURCES & SCATTERINGS

OÖ Kulturquartier (AT), Energie AG (AT)

This time, sources of light and radiation are the thematic brackets for the outpost of *HÖHENRAUSCH – Wie im Paradies (As in Paradise)*. The headquarters of Energie AG Oberösterreich will be used as an exhibition space by three Upper Austrian artists. While Raphaela Riepl’s light bodies draw themselves, sign-like, through the foyer of the PowerTower, Anton Kehrer captures the radiated energy of light photographically. Audio artist Wolfgang Dorninger transforms the roof and stairwell into a bird’s paradise, using sunlight as an energy source.

PROOF OF ART – A brief history of NFTs

OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH (AT), Jesse Damiani (US), Fabian Müller (DE), Markus Reindl (AT)

OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH presents PROOF OF ART, the world’s first museum exhibition on the history of NFTs and digital art. Congruously to the topic the show is viewed offline at the Francisco Carolinum but also online in Cryptovoxels, a blockchain-based virtual world. In light of the developments surrounding NFTs in art and the art market, a retrospective of their history – and why they are suddenly on everyone’s lips – becomes compelling.

Roboexotica Linz

Roboexotica is a festival for cocktail robotics that has been taking place since 1999. Artists, researchers, technicians and hobbyists from all over the world come together once a year to present robots and apparatuses that can mix cocktails. In addition to the practical presentation of machines, the event also engages on a philosophical level with technology hype, faith in science and the sociology of technology.

TARKOVSKY – DER 8. FILM

Thomas Cornelius Desi 2020 (AT)

The play tells the story of the eighth film by legendary filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, which was no longer made, and is based in part on true events. A robot, a strange mirror, the entanglement of reality and digitality are the core elements of Thomas Desis “Tarkovsky – The 8th Film”.

Voices.Europe

A musical encounter

The generation of people born around 1945, from England, France and Italy, are those being given a voice in this extraordinary Goethe-Institut music and exchange project about the past, present, and future of Europe.

Wandering Factory

Johannes Braumann (AT) – Creative Robotics (UfG Linz), Gabriel Gruber (AT) – MHC, Stephan Hölzl (AT) – MHC, Martin Krčma (CZ) – TU Brno, Sebastian Lämmermann (AT) – IPPE (JKU), Bashir Moradibastani (IR) – Creative Robotics (UfG Linz), Martin Reiter (AT) – IPPE (JKU), Martin Schwab (AT) – Creative Robotics (UfG Linz), Karl Singline (AU) – Creative Robotics (UfG Linz), Genevieve Howard (IE) – Creative Robotics (UfG Linz), Darija Pejic (AT) – Creative Robotics (UfG Linz)

It is clear that the future of production has to be local and must be built around a circular economy. We push that goal a step further and relocate production directly to where it is required, by equipping a robotic arm with a 3D printer and mounting it onto an electric rover. Once there, it can autonomously fabricate objects using recycled materials, adapted individually to the constraints of the chosen site.
