Programm
Artist Walk - QUIMERA ROSA
QUIMERA ROSA (AR/ES/FR)
Join the Artist Walk with Quimera Rosa, who will introduce their work Trans*Plan – a transdisciplinary project that utilizes living systems and is based on self-experimentation: it is a process that involves a “human > plant” transition in various formats.
You Don’t Know Me
Wang Shuyin (CN), Sun Xun (CN), Huang Rong (CN), Hu Ziping (CN), Xiangdong Lu (CN)
Cultural differences often lead to many misunderstandings. The installation deals with mixed cultural - misunderstanding phenomena and multiple-realities interpretations, opening a new world of contrasts and alternatives. In the boxes are videos with multiple meanings which could be easily (mis)interpreted differently based on different cultural backgrounds. Visitors are challenged to guess the meanings. If they are wrong, the installation responds with - You Don't Know Me
The Entangled Eye
Anne-Héloise Dautel (FR), Irem Bugdayci (TR), and Robert Wuss (USA)
The Entangled Eye is an exploration of visual perception through robotic motion. Luna and Laika are two robotic creatures with curious and animate behavior programmed to elicit your attention. As the whimsical creatures chase your eyes with unique kinematic expressions, the direction of your gaze orchestrates a conversation.
Transcrobial
Tal Danino (US)
Transcrobial incorporates machine learning and generative adversarial networks (GANs) to explore the emerging relationship of humans, microbes, and machines. These algorithms mimic and expand upon bacteria evolution and pattern formation beyond what is realizable in the physical world. Specifically, Transcrobial focuses on 'bacteria swarming' patterns, which are emergent behaviors that these microscopic organisms coordinate to form macroscale, fractal-like structures in an amazing feat of community intelligence.
Community Parcours: Bulgarian
This tour will take you through the POSTCITY free of charge in Bulgarian language.
In the Lab: Processing Fashion
Fashion & Technology, University of Art and Design Linz (AT)
The participatory workshop situation *In the Lab: Processing Fashion* aims to make alternatives to the system of fast fashion visible and tangible.
Radio Walk – Anton Lapov
Anton Lapov (UA)
Join Anton Lapov’s radio walk to hear a deep dive into the socio-cultural landscape in which Ars Electronica has existed for the past 40 years. You can listen to soundscape narration about historical changes in technological art representation forms – from the heyday of the digital revolution to the post-digital crisis – through the lens of critical observation of the Linz cityscape.
Human X Shark
Ai Hasegawa (JP)
A research project to develop a perfume that makes us strong and seduces male sharks. To explore a new aesthetic and (almost violent) chemical communication with another species for the upcoming “compost” era.
Wilson
Lee Jangwon (KR)
What should the future look like when the evolution of operating systems (OS) converge upon a specific form? The artist imagines the sun. Wilson is a representation of the sun as a personified OS. Technology behind any operating system feels more like an antithesis of nature, but the artist sees similarities between nature and the ultimately-evolved form of operating systems. Simultaneously, the artist also used aspects of virtual reality.
Art & Artificial Intelligence
Ronan Barrot (FR), Robbie Barrat (US)
An exceptional encounter between a contemporary painter Ronan Barrot and an artist, researcher in artificial intelligence, Robbie Barrat. 450 paintings of “Skulls” painted by Ronan Barrot over the last few years have been digitally scanned and imported by Robbie Barrat in a neural network to train it and create new images of “Skulls”.
