Queer.net
Archie Wang (CN)
Based on the background of queer culture and inspired by different art forms, Queer.net is an explorative interactive design project examining what a queer aesthetic interface might be. By letting the audience explore the interface, this project presents possibilities for what queer interfaces may look like and could express. Using a range of different digital media, this project sings a hymn to the queer aesthetics and pushes the boundaries of their applications.
VR SHOWCASE
This program features a special selection of VR works that have been submitted to the Computer Animation category of this year’s Prix Ars Electronica. Visitors can emerge themselves into several presented projects.
ARS on the WIRE
Long before the Internet began to attract widespread attention in the form of the WWW and before a young generation of artists began to critically examine the structures, peculiarities, and future possibilities of this new medium under the term “Net Art,” telecommunications art projects began to take place (from the late 1970s onwards) dealing with global networking. From the outset, Ars Electronica was a venue for this pioneering artistic work.
Prix Forum III – Artificial Intelligence & Life Art
SAT 7.9. | 12:30 – 14:00
[burnout] Maschine
Max Kullmann (DE)
The [burnout] Maschine was designed to prevent individuals (who are part of an increasingly stressed society despite diminishing physical work) from burning out by taking on this exclusively human inadequacy. At the same time, the relationship between man and machine is questioned.
Prix Forum II – Digital Musics & Sound Art
SAT 7.9. | 11:00 – 12:00
The Life of Crystals
Mónica Bate (CL)
Starting with the observation of piezoelectric crystals, the TLC project works at the crossroads of the natural and artificial, life and the machine, art and science. The experience aims to produce a poetic technogical re-purposing, where it can be seen as transformed natural matter for which humans play an evolutionary role.
Prix Forum I – Computer Animation (within the Expanded Animation Symposium)
FRI 6.9. | 12:15 – 13:45
Privacy Machine
Timm Burkhardt (DE)
An electronic way to say, “I want to be private today and not appear in your social media photos.” Privacy Machine is a working proof of concept: stand in front of the screen and take the badge or the scarf. Both have a special pattern on it. As long as this pattern is recognized by the camera, the software will pixelate your face. It‘s an unrealistic wish because manufacturers would have to integrate this software into their smartphones as a default.
