Location
Time
Jianhao Lei (CN)
What I present in this project is a trapped clock. The audience takes an EEG and the data extracted from their brain activities reinvigorate the clock. Then, the clock is no longer moving second by second, but at a real-time pace according to the brain activity of the viewer.
Mind Particles
He Xuan (CN)
The particles are suspended and aggregated in the air, and the brain waves generated by concentration during meditation control the substances in the container. When the control stops, the air movement stops, the particles return to the absolute steady state and are scattered.
Expert Tour: HybridNature
Dr. Friedrich Schwarz (AT)
The Expert Tour HybridNature explores this exciting question: Where are the limits of our knowledge? Are lichens plants or fungi? The focus is on the plants, the actual “rulers” of this world.
Women reclaiming AI
Birgitte Aga (NO), Coral Manton (UK)
SAT 7.9. | 13:00 – 14:30 Women Reclaiming AI invites you to take part in a workshop designing an alternative AI Voice Assistant created by a growing community of self-identifying women (trans, intersex and cis) and all nonbinary, agender and gender variant people.
Expert Tour: Music Monday
Werner Jauk (AT), Tilman Hatje (DE)
The Sound Art Course “Music Monday” is a longstanding Ars Electronica tradition. The tour is a listening journey through the plurality of relationships between music / sound art and the media arts.
the shell
Amir Bastan (IR), Johannes Braumann (AT)
the shell constructs a narrative on both sides of a monitor, behind which something is hidden. This is caused by the observation in front of the monitor.
Brainwave Project to Help Patients with Disorders of Consciousness
Qi Chen (CN)
In this project, I hope to provide an approach to help people who are in a minimally conscious state (MCS) and have partial preservation of conscious awareness by using wearable devices to detect real-time brain waves and generate images to help doctors and families understand the different brain responses to different audiovisual inputs.
Recommenders and Intelligent Tools in Music Creation: Why, Why Not, and How?
Christine Bauer (AT), Peter Knees (AT), Richard Vogl (AT), Hansi Raber (AT)
This workshop will highlight the role of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning-supported composition, and Recommender Systems in the process of music creation. We discuss their reception and prevalent image among professional music producers and creators, including the potential threats these technologies pose to their artistic originality. We contrast this view by emphasizing the power of AI-technology for a democratization of music making, by lowering the entrance barrier of music creation.
Luci, sin nombre y sin memoria
José Manuel Berenguer (ES)
Luci reproduces the functioning of a self-organizing system inspired by the behavior of fireflies in south-east Asian mangrove swamps. It has been observed that when the male launches an intermittent signal the female responds with a similar signal. Luci is, in the final instance, an allusion to the irreversibility of nature and the absolute security of death.
Digital Musical Interactions
Koray Tahiroğlu (Fl/TR)
Today digital technologies and advanced computational features, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) tools, are shaping our relationship with music as well as enabling new possibilities of utilising new musical instruments and interfaces. In this workshop, we question, what does our relationship with music and musical instruments look like today?
