Script for Basic Human Encounter

Maria McLean (IT), Eva Weber (DE)

Lack of Time

Stella Kucher (DE, US), Onur Olgac (TR)

Lack of Time questions existing time systems and shows alternatives based on event time. The interactive project aims to use digital art to create awareness of our society’s dependency on clock time. At the same time, it should explain event time by using abstract visualizations to invite the user to interact.

Alternative Energy?

Lukas Bernhart (AT)

This project shows the risks of today's energy production and usage and questions nuclear power as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Do we want to exploit the planet until there is nothing left to use or should we be risking thousands of dead people and making large areas of the planet forever uninhabitable? Alternative Energy? investigates different energy concepts and design solutions in the Solarpunk movement.
