Programm

S>A<S

Bill (BiCheng) Zhou (CN)

This artwork investigates the interactivity between living organisms and electronic sound / vision systems in the form of a social drama between three ant colonies. How could some simple units work together to show the complexity of ant behavior? How could electronic systems be integrated into living ant colonies? How could humans sense this complexity?

Portraits

Nobuyuki Osaki (JP)

Meditating about myself and others. About memory and perception. About the reality of all of us, living in the information society. And also meditating about politics, society and unpredictable disasters, about our future. The more I think about it, the more “this world” is flooded with vagueness and uncertainties.

Clams

Marco Barotti (DE/IT)

Clams is a kinetic sound installation that interacts with water quality. Real-time data is streamed by a sensor to shape audio frequencies into a live evolving soundscape which initiates the opening and closing movements of the sculptures. The Clams are made from recycled plastic and intended to raise awareness about water and plastic pollution.

Aerial-Biped

Azumi Maekawa (JP), Shunji Yamanaka (JP)

Aerial-Biped is a prototype for exploring a new experience with a physical biped robot. In this work using a quadrotor, we aim to separate the body shape and motion design.

Holy Hydra

Raumteiler Linz Kulturverein – Amanda Augustin (AT), Lorena Höllrigl (AT)

With contemporary dance performances, electronic music, interactive light installations and room-filling projections, the Urfahr parish church will be enchanted for two days and appear in a completely different light. The interplay of theory and practice will redefine sacred space and put it on an equal footing with urban space with a symposium of a special kind.

STATION ROSE (AT)

#Urbana Natura in_hancing_The_Augmented & vice versa is an augmented audio-visual installation, an “Out of Nature into Urban Augmented Space & Back again” exhibition. The ensemble of nature, urban and augmented spaces shows the already existing deep interweaving of these seemingly independent levels and forms of life.

Bodiject-oriented

Kenri Kodaka (JP)

Bodiject-oriented is a media installation designed to give viewers an experience of “bodiject” (body as object). In this work, a single double-sided mirror vertically divides a flat display into two left and right planes; the body-image plane and the object-image plane.

Noise Eater

Bill (BiCheng) Zhou (CN)

Noise Eater is a kinetic art piece exploring the poetics of noise electronics and the human condition. The installation allows the participants as well as the art piece itself to consume noise, generate noise and provide an aesthetic experiment consisting of electronics, exploring concepts of humanity and nature.

Resolution of landscape

Tsutomu Yamamoto (JP)

Resolution of Landscape is a work of mixed reality. Viewers can experience two spaces between the exhibition space and a landscape movie shown on the iPad. Through this experience, the viewer draws a space in their own mind. That experience expresses spatial sense and contemporary realism in virtual space.
