Tagtool im Deep Space
Markus Dorninger (AT), Matthias Fritz (AT)

OMAi presents an interactive artistic production in Deep Space 8K! The installation is the result of a recent residency of Tagtool artists from all over the world. Together they will create an impressive work of art specifically for Deep Space, with many details and everything in motion. The audience can also take part in the design process on site.

Quantum Logos
Mark Chavez (US), Ina Conradi (SG), Tate Chavez (US), Bianka Hofmann (DE), Bob Kastner (AU)

In an immersive reactive audio-visual experience, Quantum Logos uses cultural archetypes to explore natural phenomena focusing on the basics of quantum theory. We attempt to utilize aspects of intuitive, assumptive cultural models to describe the nature of existence as confirmed through scientific observation. The media artists Mark Chavez and Ina Conradi, sci-art producer and developer Bianka Hofmann and science communicator Bob Kastner form the collective Quantum Travelers

PRESSURE
Julian Pixel Schmiederer (AT), Gregor Franz (AT), Johannes Rass (AT), Lara Rabitsch (AT)

The movie is a mirror of modern society where uniqueness is demonized, where striving for freedom is something uncommon and where chasing your dreams is not cool anymore. In a society like this it´s hard for people to identify themselves, because we are taught not to be different. We are always trying to push our psychological limits to the edge, just to do what others think is good for us. The film is dealing with these issues and looks at them from an artistic perspective.

A Real-Time Generative Installation Piano Performance

NOLANDX
Ulf Langheinrich (DE)

*NOLANDX* is an audiovisual composition. The aesthetic nucleus of the work are the image planes, algorithmically generated noise and lines as well as recordings of sea waves. This referential source material is transformed by slit-scan and other interventions on the time level. The result is a pulsating, stereoscopically black and white space: immersion in the interworld.

LSF-500 – Project
Franz Fischnaller (IT)

Immersive digital exhibit showcasing Gigapixel images in 8K, up to 28350x40160 px, made of over fourteen of Leonardo da Vinci’s works comprising, among others: the universally renowned Portrait of an Old Man, the Head of a Young Woman, also known as the “Mona Lisa of drawings,” the notable Codex on the Flight of Birds, donated by Theodor Sabachnikov to King Humbert I in 1893, containing Leonardo’s drawings of flying machines and the Hidden Portrait, Leonardo da Vinci's alleged self-portrait discovered in the Codex on the Flight of Birds.

Liquidus
Roman Divotkey (AT), Nora Loimayr (AT), Christoph Schaufler (AT), Wolfram Weingartner (AT)

*Liquidus* is an interactive, physics-based fluid simulation that turns Deep Space into a playful laboratory to experiment with various properties of liquids and gases. Data for the physics calculations are processed and visualized in real-time and are also utilized to create a soundscape that supports the overall visual experience.

Eruptions
Suyang Kim (KR), Dieter Stemmer (AT), Marlene Reischl (AT), Christian Philip Berger (AT)

Emotional outbursts and eruptive climaxes dominate this program both musically and visually.

Deep Quiz
Andrea Aschauer (AT), Jeremiah Diephuis (US), Jürgen Hagler (AT), Wolfgang Hochleitner (AT), Georgi Kostov (BG), Gabriel Mittermair (AT)

*Deep Quiz* transforms the Ars Electronica Center’s Deep Space into an interactive TV-like game show. The application combines physical exercise, group dynamics and learning as an exciting, playful assessment performance that entertains the audience with one central question: just how much do you know?

Che si può fare?
Monica Vlad (RO) with guest Johanna Falkinger (AT)

The theme of this performance is based on feelings of melancholy, sadness, fear of loss, meditation and anger and how music can be used to express and release these emotions.
