POSTCITY
Listening capsules (light version)
Thomas Barbé (FR), the Random(lab)
Our body is a tactile receiver of all musical waves: we perceive them through our skin, muscles, nerves, bones, etc. The listening capsules immerse the viewer in “somesthetic” compositions generated live by an algorithm. The intention is to take the listener out of his usual sound environment in order to invite him to renew his listening experience. These waves, sinusoidal frequencies, are composed and synthesized generatively by a software specifically developed for the installation, the sinoto.
THE COMPUTATION CENTER [CENTRO DE CÁLCULO] AT MADRID UNIVERSITY. 1966-1973
The Computation Center at Madrid University (CCUM) is an example of how computation centers, mathematicians and some private computer companies became generators of interaction between technology and other disciplines.
Ars Electronica History Day
The History Day conferences are dedicated to the anniversary celebrations of Ars Electronica.

Ting*
Tromarama – Febie Babyrose (ID), Herbert Hans (ID), Ruddy Hatumena (ID)
This video is about reunion; there are three mugs, which always appear in the video that represents the three of us. We can see all the tableware run away through the fence and play around in the park, but at the end of the day they must go back into the cupboard and be ordinary tableware again. This video expresses how we felt at that time, when our daily routine at the office occupied our playing time.
PatentPandas.org
Jie Qi (US), Carol Lin (US), May Qi (US), Ira Winder (US)
PatentPandas.org is a resource built to explain (scary!) patent law using (not-scary!) panda comics. The website has three core parts: Resources: information pages that explain the patent system (like prior art, what is patentable, infringement, etc.) using friendly language and humorous panda comics. Stories: accounts by everyday inventors who had adventures (or misadventures) involving patents and highlights what they learned from their experiences. Get Help: for innovators who are in need of legal support, we compiled a list of pro bono law clinics that offer to help innovators referred from patentpandas.org
Galería José de la Mano, Madrid
Since its foundation in 2005, Galería José de la Mano has manifested its commitment to reviving interest in the pioneers of the electronic art created with computers and photocopiers in Spain in the 1960s and 70s, notably the figure of Lugán. The gallery has also drawn attention to artists working in the context of the Centro de Cálculo (1969-73), whose seminars analyzed the potential for applying calculus to the process of artistic creation.
Japanese Media Art Timeline Infographics Project
Atsuhito Sekiguchi(JP), Hiroko Myokan(JP), Minoru Noma (JP), Keiko Kobayashi (JP), Ryoji Tanaka (JP)
We are trying to build a history of Japanese media art from the event, with the artistic support of company Mesena (mécénat) and through the student-teacher relationships at the educational research institute. It will consist of an infographic that clearly displays the relationship between the winning projects at PRIX ARS Electronica and those at the Japan Media Art Festival.
