OK Night
The OK Night, much appreciated by music enthusiasts and night-owls, is the place to be on the Festival Saturday for everyone who wants to crank it up after the Electronic Theatre or the Klangwolke.
Modeling Color Spectra
Benedict Falkenstein (DE)
Each picture consists of many individual colors. Based on the RGB color space, I created a virtual reality application that shows a three-dimensional shape of the color spectrum of the image. This object can be moved and deformed by users, who can then see the changes they made to the picture. This direct link between the image and the three-dimensional color space gives the user a completely new perspective on colors and their location in the RGB color system.
170 Jahre Sparkasse OÖ Jubiläumsklangwolke präsentiert von der LINZ AG
The Visualized Klangwolke – which celebrates its 40th birthday – will be staged this year by David Pountney. The internationally renowned opera director and artistic director is a master of spectacular scenic effects, which he turns into a virtuoso means of expression.
Rays
Anne-Sophie Schmidt (DE)
Rays is a VR environment designed to get viewers excited about the physics of electromagnetic waves. With a self-designed ring as controller, the user can hunt for the information himself. Other interactions, such as changing the frequency of the wave, demonstrate the properties of the different wave types and are illustrated by dimensions that represent the wide bandwidth of the wave dimension. Immerse yourself and explore the invisible radiation surrounding you.
Anatomy of an AI System
Vladan Joler (RS), Kate Crawford (AU)
Anatomy of an AI uses the example of Amazon Echo to show the countless components and factors behind the production of artificial intelligence systems. But this process is so complex that its full extent can hardly be comprehended.
nimiia cétiï
Jenna Sutela (FI)
The project uses an AI as a medium to channel messages from Bacillus subtilis nattō, an extremophilic, probiotic bacterium and a possible Martian.
Episode am Fluss
