Virus Buster Offline – The marvels of Code Violet
Gluccie Collaborations (JP)
The scene of *Virus Buster Offline* takes place in Japan in the near future. Through an avatar, people can dive into the Internet world, which has been infected by a brutal computer virus, Code Violet, which must be defeated by the players. The aim of this project is to allow participants to increase their physical activity by using elements of gamification. Participants wear an activity meter to collect points. With continuous participation, points accumulate and characters in the game evolve. This device art work combines the fields of medicine and art.
Gallery Spaces Panels
At the Gallery Space Panels 2019, experts will discuss the transformation and future of the media art market. The interaction between science, art and the market will be analysed from a variety of perspectives in seven prominent discussion rounds.
Innovationsforum GET.Inspired
The power of individual technology groups and their exclusive role in shaping the future is increasingly subject to criticism. We are called upon to critically question and actively participate, instead of remaining passive victims of digital change. People and companies show how, by thinking against all rules, new paths can be taken outside the comfort zone.
Panel: Theatre in the Digital Age
How can digital technology add to the magical, theatrical moment? Digital theatre entails a multitude of approaches and perspectives.
Space Exploration Initiative
MIT Media Lab (US), Xin Liu (CN)
In the past, the desire for exploration and expansion had a profound impact on how we imagined planetary futures. What shall we imagine now? In this exhibition, six projects from the Space Exploration Initiative of MIT Media Lab are asking the same question and bringing possibilities to the (im)possible space: All the projects were successfully deployed and performed in a zero-gravity parabolic flight last year. They are hopes beyond solutions, imaginations, more than facts.
Why are we creative?
Hermann Vaske (DE)
Why are we creative? Does it run in our blood? Do we create in order to make ourselves immortal? Is it a reckless compulsion? Or is it simply a way to make a buck?
Smart Traffic – Augmented Cyclists meet Automated Vehicles
CARISSMA — Center of Automotive Research on Integrated Safety Systems and Measurement Area, Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (DE)

The Munich embassy of the Lithuanian artist republic Užupis brings together cutting-edge AI engineers, rebellious artists and high-ranking policy makers to promote innovations that are more accessible, inspired and ethical.

Particle Post
Yuri Tanaka (JP), Pavle Dinulović (RS), Umut Kose (TR), Chris Bruckmayr (AT)
Receiving cosmic muons through a scintillator detector, the postbox subtly emits sound and light as a direct consequence of every particle it detects. It is through this process that the implied aesthetics of the unperceivable are explored, as are the means by which it could be indirectly appreciated in different ways through the bodies and minds of humans.
