TIMELESSNESS
Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas-Artes
When Ars Electronica completes 40 years, we might be inclined to think that digital art is bound, by technology, to the time of its creation. Experiencing this selection in which drawings are excavated and expanded through augmented reality, however, a viewer’s gaze is allowed to degrade the photographic image, and the tangible or performative gestures of the audience are used to evoke memories or point to new directions. We realize that creativity can definitely transcend the technology used to build it. Calling upon temporality, space, and memory as key ingredients, Timelessness engages the participants on a journey through social, aesthetic, and temporal landscapes. The exhibition gathers artistic projects developed by undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree students in the scope of the Multimedia Art Department of the Faculdade de Belas-Artes of the Universidade de Lisboa – FBAUL.

Lack of Time
Stella Kucher (DE, US), Onur Olgac (TR)
Lack of Time questions existing time systems and shows alternatives based on event time. The interactive project aims to use digital art to create awareness of our society’s dependency on clock time. At the same time, it should explain event time by using abstract visualizations to invite the user to interact.
