Young Professionals Award, Prix Ars Electronica 2021 | “INCERT” is an experimental animated film that critically examines the political and social developments of the present and possible future scenarios. The short film gives an insight into the overwhelming emotions of an era marked by turmoil and refers to the major crises of our time: environmental and climate crisis, surveillance and protests against racist police violence.

Golden Nica, Prix Ars Electronica 2021 | The project “re-wire” is a sculpture that can be used as an instrument. The intention of the three artists was to combine a musical project with the ecological idea of upcycling. So they built a modular synthesizer out of electronic scrap and found materials. They recorded the sounds for it themselves during the creation of the object, for example when sawing the boards.
