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.

Virus Buster Offline – The marvels of Code Violet
Gluccie Collaborations (JP)
The scene of *Virus Buster Offline* takes place in Japan in the near future. Through an avatar, people can dive into the Internet world, which has been infected by a brutal computer virus, Code Violet, which must be defeated by the players. The aim of this project is to allow participants to increase their physical activity by using elements of gamification. Participants wear an activity meter to collect points. With continuous participation, points accumulate and characters in the game evolve. This device art work combines the fields of medicine and art.
