SIX MOVEMENTS
Interactive Architecture Lab, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (UK)
SIX MOVEMENTS showcases six individual student projects centered around different types of movement. The work takes a critical stance and reflects on past and current developments across art, science, and technology to spearhead thinking on emergent themes of the 21st century.
Project Alias – Design your own Parasite
Bjørn Karmann (DK), Tore Knudsen (DK)
SAT 7.9. | 11:30 - 12:30 Arising from the experience of S+T+ARTS Prize winning project- Ciutat Vella's land-use plan, this workshop is open to a wide range of urban agents with different scientific, artistic, political and technical backgrounds to reflect on several cutting-edge questions in European cities.
EXPERTS TOURS
Every day, experts and artists offer guided tours at festival locations. They provide an opportunity to take a new look at the festival theme “Out of the Box - The Midlife Crisis of the Digital Revolution” and current trends in art, technology and society.
Angry Bubble
Wang Shuyin (CN), Sun Xun (CN), Huang Rong (CN), Hu Ziping (CN), Xiangdong Lu (CN)
Anger is often contagious. When a person's anger reaches a certain level, his behavior and speech will always hurt or affect others. But if a person expresses anger in a language or ridiculous behavior that you don't understand at all, you may not be affected by anger, but you may find it interesting. When visitors stand in front of the installation, the angry face spits cheerful bubbles on them, making the angry facial expression hard to interpret and ultimately pointless.
The Hidden Life of an Amazon User
Joana Moll (ES)
“The Life, Lessons & Rules for Success of Jeff Bezos” was purchased at Amazon on June 17, 2019. In order to purchase the book, the customer was forced to go through 12 different interfaces made of large amounts of code, adding up to 87.33Mb of data. The piece narrates the journey within the labyrinth of interfaces and code that allowed them to buy the book, while revealing the mounting energy costs unwittingly paid for by the Amazon customer.
Peer
Liu Kexu (CN), Ye YiChen (CN), Zheng Jiang (CN), Dong Geng (CN), Wenjie Liang (CN)
Peer is a work based on exploration, which uses symbolic snooping movements to explore unusual images in the real world. By looking through a tubular structure, the undefined view causes people’s desire to snoop. The mechanical structure inside the black box rotates the screen to the corresponding location based on the visitor’s position. At the same time, the film images of the six pipelines share the same theme: the multifaceted nature of human beings in society.
Innen Außen
Wolfgang Dorninger (AT)
Creating a sound space in the interior that overcomes the physics of space is what drives me. To remodel natural sound spaces in the outdoor area, as well. Two completely different sound spaces collide violently in “Inside Outside”. Somewhere the sound space expands, elsewhere the flow is prevented.
Hyundai x ART
Hyundai Motor Company is one of the most committed supporters of contemporary arts and culture globally with various approaches – decade-long partnerships with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA), Tate, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and partnerships with major art world events including the Biennale of Sydney, Korean Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and collaboration with the global media group Bloomberg, as well as supporting numerous art initiatives and prizes around the globe. Through working with Ars Electronica, Hyundai shares and improves their perspective on society as a place for collaboration and innovation together. In 2018/19, Hyundai and Ars Electronica have jointly curated three exhibitions on the theme of “Future Humanity — Our Shared Planet,” which were shown at the Hyundai Motorstudios in Beijing, Seoul and Moscow. Furthermore, the two partners have successfully collaborated on several projects, all with one common goal: to explore the intersection of art, technology and society.
SwarmOS Research Demo
Swarm Arena
At the SwarmOS Research Demo, the Ars Electronica Futurelab will give a concept demonstration of their current research progress around swarm-based technology as a means of communication, which can be controlled with the in-house developed software SwarmOS. Whether it be stunning visualizations, real-time transmissions, new approaches to interaction design, artistic expression or unprecedented community experiences, the demonstration shows insights into the many applications possible through SwarmOS.
