Alchemists of the Future – The Journey

Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)

In this journey, the Ars Electronica Futurelab’s Alchemists of the Future invite you to embark on a tour through their vision and ideas for the future, which are distributed throughout the Ars Electronica Center. Take a peek inside the black box of the technologies of the future to uncover what is behind them. Gain in-depth knowledge about contemporary trends and how they are being applied in broad areas of our daily lives. Let yourself be taken into the future through Guided Journeys by our info trainers, Special Guided Journeys by artists and researchers from the Ars Electronica Futurelab or online.

Autonomy / Dependency

Ignacio Cuevas (CL), Fabián Andrade (CL)

The Republic of the Mountain is constituted as a utopian micronation, decentralized and intangible, which activates an ephemeral appearance from the foothills of the Andes towards the limits of our perception, to find out more join us in this conversation with Enrique Rivera, our art curator and get to become a citizen of the republic.

Beyond human art: creation and the posthuman

Sofian Audry (CA), Edwige Armand (FR), Gisèle Trudel (CA), Navid Navab (CA), Danny Perreault (CA)

Can nonhuman machines and processes have any pretension to “originate anything”? Can art exist outside of its human framework, decoupled from the socio-techno-cultural context in which it is produced? How can we (re)imagine artistic creation in this new posthuman paradigm? In this round table, the participants approach these questions through the themes of metacreation, nonhuman creation in plants, ecosystems, environments, and excitable matter(ials), as well as human-nonhuman collaboration and co-creation.

Panel 1: CIFO & Ars Electronica: Latin American media art. History and praxis.

Rafael Lozano Hemmer (MX), Martin Honzik (AT), Rodrigo Alonso (AR), Tania Aedo (MX), Jose-Carlos Mariategui (PE), Maria Fernandez (NI)

The virtual event will concentrate both on exploring the rich set of historical precedents in pioneering experimental practices in Latin America, and on recent productions in the fields of media art such as AI and ML, robotics and drones, VR and AR, AV sculpture, and landscape, blockchain and metaverse, biotech and biomimesis, NetArt, hacking and viruses.

When humans and robots work side by side, it’s not always easy: widespread skepticism and a lack of communication paradigms will create new challenges in future work environments. How can trust and acceptance be established in the workplace of the future? How can human-robot work environments be designed?

Montreal Life Support & Woulg present “Empty Vessels”

Montreal Life Support (CA/UK) & Woulg (CA)

« Empty Vessels » is a uniquely complex AV performance that merges robotics, AI neural networks, classical instrumentation and experimental metaphysics.

Human-Robot Interaction

Michael Tesar

At JetBrains Techlab, we focus on adaptive human-robotic interaction and mobile robotics. An important element of such a system is human-robot interaction (HRI), which ensures that the robotic system is performing the task correctly and in a safe way, for itself and the environment, including humans. The presentation covers an introduction to HRI, how to make HRI safe, and how humans can benefit from such an interaction.

Online Talk featuring Ory Yoshifuji

Speaker: Ory Yoshifuji, Ory Laboratory Inc. (JP), Masato Nagahiro (JP), Moderator: Maholo Uchida (JP)

Ory Yoshifuji developed OriHime, an avatar robot, based on his own experience as a teenager to solve solitude as the theme of his life and developed a series of prototypes to meet the motivations of users. He will talk about solitude, bonds, and how the world can be changed in this talk session.

RECONNECTING ORLAN AND THE ORLANOÏDE

ORLAN (FR)

In this pivotal new work developed in collaboration with Science Gallery Dublin, ORLAN will join us virtually from Paris in a brand new performance through a connection between the artist and the artist’s replica: ORLANOÏDE, who will perform live from the stage in the Paccar Theatre at Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin.

Robots are people, too
