Theatre in the Digital Age
As an artistic platform for creation, innovation and collaboration, the European Theatre Convention initiated the project European Theatre Lab – Drama goes digital in 2016. This year for the third time, Ars Electronica and ETC collaborate in a symposium with discussion, a hands-on VR workshop by the CyberRäuber and their Fragments | a digital Freischütz, a virtual reality opera in four episodes.
Shared Habitats
The exhibition Shared Habitats focuses on the influence of technology on socio-cultural processes through fourteen works of a digital, biological, and interactive nature. The exhibition focuses on the location of organisms in their environment, the effects of humans on their habitats, and the artistic handling of new biomaterials and technologies. Many of the works on display are based on scientific experiments that are analyzed in a cultural context.
Found Sound Discovery
Robin Weijers (NL), Manolis Perrakis (EL)
Found Sound Discovery explores movement, time and sound. An installation that involves analogue and digital interactions with the world around us. Through sensors and found objects, mechanical and digital interactions create the possibility of discovered sound.
Spectacular Resonance
CCW, University of the Arts London
MA Fine Art Digital is a course that asks questions about what art is in a digital environment. Rather than focusing on specific technology, it allows students from incredibly diverse backgrounds to engage with significant issues through their art. BA Print & Time Based Media is a course that combines the traditional with the contemporary, bringing together print-making, photography, film, audio, writing, video and performance art. This exhibition is co-curated by artists and Program Directors Jonathan Kearney and Lois Rowe from UAL and will showcase work from areas they oversee.
The Feline Project
Dagmar Dachauer (AT), Kilian Immervoll (AT)
Online cat content and robopets represent a deeply human yearning. Choreographer Dagmar Dachauer, together with video artist Kilian Immervoll, initiates a humorous and bewildering interaction between the ancient pet, human and robot through a hyper-detailed movement language.
Inter Faces
Régis Costa de Oliveira (BR)
The Inter Faces performance uses augmented reality to replace the performer's body – including self-portraits – with digital images framed on a screen. The performers will act in a space that fuses the real with the digital. Their actions will likewise occur by crossing in between these two worlds, exploring simulacra and making it evident it from digital contents that seemingly appeal to us, even as it also makes clear how such temptations can exert a narcoticizing, hallucinogenic effect on us.
