Body Poetry
Liu Guiyu (CN)
Body Poetry is an exploration of future body data and poetic human data. When linking the body to the data, perhaps our sadness, fear and enthusiasm are not only the spirituality of poetry, but the result of the algorithm.

KHIPU
Constanza Piña (CL)
This piece is an open-source textile computer based on the manufacture of an astronomical Inca khipu, the cords of which were hand-spun with alpaca wool and copper wire. They function as an antenna for electromagnetic fields that is connected to an amplifier circuit. This project is a sound and arts interpretation of the technology, wisdom and history of our ancestors.

AI-Pop. Walking sound-knowledge-base
Werner Jauk (AT)
It is the bodily experience of sound that determines its structuring: sound brings the body in motion leading to e-motion generating sound – interaction leads to a collective and collectivizing dynamic soundstream of being “communis.”

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.
