WORLD MACHINES

Urbanization and globalization in the digital age is one example. Another one is a movie portraying various traditional patterns of the Ainu people, the native inhabitants of Northern Japan. Seoul City Machine is a city symphony of an urban space of tomorrow, written and narrated by an AI chatbot. Or maybe a city portrait of young people and their personal data.

Dialogue II: AI & Bio Art

Maja Smrekar (SI) & Aza Raskin (US)

SAT 7.9. | 15:30 – 16:00

Dialogue I: Komposition, Interpretation, Reproduction - 3 shades of creativity

Markus Poschner (DE) & Ali Nikrang (AT)

SAT 7.9. | 15:00 – 15:30

STATEMENT

A group of soldiers set off on a peaceful exploration of the city through a war zone in the middle of Manhattan, a game of pretended emergencies, a society that buries its head in the sand. Filmmakers take a stand on various political issues such as censorship in Saudi Arabia or ask questions about staged images in the refugee crisis.

Lucifer

Kari Massey (DE)

Lucifer is a small robot, which reacts to light and gives light. If Light were a living thing, how would we encounter it? How would we communicate with each other? With 3 joints, 3 degrees of freedom, Lucifer is able to react with a wide range of motion. He addresses us with his movements. How do we react to this feedback? He brings light and he seeks light. Do we accept his offer? Or will we try to take away the light he seeks? An experimental reflection on human behavior.

Programmable Droplets

Udayan Umapathi (IN/US)

The Programmable Droplets system was created to use droplets in our environment and program them for information manipulation and human interaction.

OK Night

The OK Night, much appreciated by music enthusiasts and night-owls, is the place to be on the Festival Saturday for everyone who wants to crank it up after the Electronic Theatre or the Klangwolke.

Modeling Color Spectra

Benedict Falkenstein (DE)

Each picture consists of many individual colors. Based on the RGB color space, I created a virtual reality application that shows a three-dimensional shape of the color spectrum of the image. This object can be moved and deformed by users, who can then see the changes they made to the picture. This direct link between the image and the three-dimensional color space gives the user a completely new perspective on colors and their location in the RGB color system.

Rays

Anne-Sophie Schmidt (DE)

Rays is a VR environment designed to get viewers excited about the physics of electromagnetic waves. With a self-designed ring as controller, the user can hunt for the information himself. Other interactions, such as changing the frequency of the wave, demonstrate the properties of the different wave types and are illustrated by dimensions that represent the wide bandwidth of the wave dimension. Immerse yourself and explore the invisible radiation surrounding you.

nimiia cétiï

Jenna Sutela (FI)

The project uses an AI as a medium to channel messages from Bacillus subtilis nattō, an extremophilic, probiotic bacterium and a possible Martian.
