BR41N.I0 Hackathon

g.tec medical engineering GmbH (AT)

The BR41N.IO Hackathon brings together engineers, programmers, designers, artists and/or enthusiasts, who collaborate intensively as an interdisciplinary team. Each team must design and build a unique, playful and wearable headpiece that can measure useful EEG signals in real-time to create any sort of interaction.

Data Dreaming

Andrea Guidi (IT)

Data Dreaming is a multimedia performative installation driving nuanced gestures to create ethereal audio-visual compositions with an interface resembling a household lamp. Rather than addressing functional requirements, the wood pyramidal object invites viewers to explore and compose enchanted sonic textures and fictional visual renderings.

Tickle

The Center for Haptic Audio Interaction Research (CHAIR) (DE)

The Tickle is an acoustic interface for sound. It’s designed as the missing input device for physical modeling synthesis. Vibrations are captured on the surface and fed into digital resonators. It responds naturally to hitting or scratching, even bowing on the edge, making the interaction embodied, intuitive, and intimate.

Global Consciousness Interface

Sebastian Kaye (UK/DE)

Global Consciousness Interface is a portable interface that allows users to connect themselves to this net of consciousness whenever they feel the need. As “esoteric electronics,” this device mirrors a part of the tantric approach in Tibetan Buddhist meditation; by using body, speech, and mind, one's totality is applied. Here, the body is reflected in the use of the user's heart rate, the bell symbolizes speech, and the mind is united with itself through this interface.

Drosophila Karaoke Bar

Ursula Damm (DE)

Drosophila Karaoke Bar invites visitors to establish a direct exchange with fruit flies through a technical interface that invites visitors to talk and sing with the flies.

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.
