Body Public Space Visual Image
Bela Usabaev (DE)
From the public space around the AEC, impulses are transmitted through the body to the façade as part of an interactive performance. The completely free structure of public space meets the defined counterpart of the body in order to be mounted on the façade as if on a canvas.
Nord Süd
Moritz Laumert (DE)
Nord Süd deals with two important non-representational painters: Josef Albers and Günther Fruhtrunk. Both have great art-historical relevance and are points of reference to consumer culture and design alike. Fruhtrunk designed the plastic bag for Aldi-Nord, which irrevocably connects him to the brand. Albers’ famous painting, “Homage to the Square,” has surprising parallels to the Aldi-Süd or Hofer logo. Both of the painting-inspired graphics are processed and animated on the façade.
Overloading / Overloaded: Touch Me Softly
Yve Oh (CN)
The Ars Electronica Center itself is being expanded to include touch-sensitive sensors which will be transformed into an interactive installation. Several sensor-points placed on different positions on the façade invite visitors to touch, caress, scratch, strike and hit the building. Touch, in turn, creates wave animations that spread across the building. Overloading the sensors (eg. hard knocking) causes the whole façade to crash.
Spatial Turn – Interactive Portfolio
FH JOANNEUM Institute of Design & Communication (AT)
The installation Spatial Turn shows numerous projects created by students in the fields of communication design, exhibition design, interaction design, media design and sound design from recent graduates of the Institute of Design & Communication of the University of Applied Sciences Graz as an interactive media portfolio experience.
CuGo
Kongpyung Moon (SK), Peng Gao (CHN)
CuGo is a board game where humans interact with modular robots (H-RMR). As a platform for people and robots to collaborate, CuGo not only encourages players to observe and understand how the multi-axis RMR robots behave, but also how they might be utilized. CuGo also opens up questions about the role of humans within environments populated by autonomous agents.
In Rhythmic fragments
Saria Ghaziri (FR/LB), Dalia Todary-Michael (CA/EG)
In Rhythmic Fragments is a biophilic spatial installation that translates mensurated motions into kinetic architectural boundaries. Inspired by the rhythmic flows of energy observed at varied scales in the natural environment, the installation aims to engage our mind with contemplative content to evoke the sense of being mesmerized.
Lumina
Danniella Vizcarra (PER), Claudia Cortes (MEX)
Lumina is an interactive installation that aims to generate a sense of presence by exploring the personal and peripersonal space of the user. The instrument reflects interactive boundaries of light drawn by our bodies. The intensity, color, and shape of the boundary is modified when the user extends or retracts their arms.
Sonicaedro
Poli Mujica (CL)
Sonicaedro is an installation of an Interactive Interface (HCI) within a dark and closed space. Through the tactile interaction with a dodecahedron of iridescent methacrylate, the user is able to generate a series of visual as well as sound responses in the environment. The videos projected in the room revolve around themes of sacred geometry in nature.
