Body Public Space Visual Image
Bela Usabaev (DE)
From the public space around the AEC, impulses are transmitted through the body to the façade as part of an interactive performance. The completely free structure of public space meets the defined counterpart of the body in order to be mounted on the façade as if on a canvas.
Prix Forum
One of the absolute highlights of every Ars Electronica is the opportunity to meet Prix Ars Electronica prize-winners and to attend Prix forums to hear the artists elaborate on their oeuvre and current work. Moderated by Prix Ars Electronica jurors, these discussions provide fascinating insights into this year’s categories: Computer Animation, Digital Musics & Sound Art and Artificial Intelligence & Life Art.
Zihotch
Maywa Denki (JP)
*Zihotch* is a wristwatch that announces the current time when the user dials “117.” The voice is programmable so that the user can hear various people announcing the time.
DEFACING
Camilo Sandoval (CO)
I use AEC’s façade to visualize data showing a broad panorama of what was and is still going on in Colombia. The data come from several institutions and observers of the conflict and are meant to reflect the magnitude of the events through abstraction.
Machine for Living
Sabrina Ratté (CA)
Machine for Living is a project elaborated in the context of a nine-month residency at Château Ephémère (Carrière-sous-Poissy, France). The video series investigates the architecture of the new towns (villes nouvelles) and brutalist residential buildings in the surroundings of Paris.
Hyperscreen [Testpattern]
Dawid Liftinger (AT)
A search for the limit of the technical boundaries of the media façade at the threshold of human perception; redeeming their promise as fast, colorful pictures. Every “pixel” always changes every frame. Flicker, no pause, high-contrast: everything is always on. This is noise for the eyes.
Expanded Animation – OUT OF THE BOX
Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences Hagenberg Campus (AT), Ars Electronica (AT)
In collaboration with the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences’ Hagenberg Campus, the 7th Expanded Animation symposium carries on a process launched in 2013 — mapping the wide-ranging domain of animated worlds of imagery beyond the well-trodden paths. The symposium stays the course originally set at its inception, and presents theoretical positions and perspectives from the art world, the R&D field and the industrial sector.
Galerie Charlot, Paris — Tel Aviv, Yafo
Galerie Charlot was created by Valérie Hasson-Benillouche in 2010 in order to promote innovative contemporary art practices. Valentina Peri joined the gallery in 2011 and she is currently the associate director. Particularly sensitive to emerging art forms, Galerie Charlot focuses on the relation between art, technology and science.
