Curly Cable

Andrea Rebok (AT)

The kinetic installation *Curly Cable* celebrates the presence, function, and aesthetics of spiral cables.

LightWing II

Uwe Rieger (DE/NZ), Yinan Liu (NZ), arc/sec Lab (NZ)

The interactive installation LightWing II creates a mysterious sensation of tactile data. It allows the visitor to navigate through holographic spaces and to explore responsive narratives.

Putting the Pieces Back Together Again

Ralf Baecker (DE)

The kinetic installation Putting the Pieces Back Together Again is a complex system with self-organizing and emergent behavior. It is also an artistic inquiry and meditation on contemporary scientific methodology. The installation investigates non-hierarchical communication and collective behavior by implementing such a system physically through many electro-mechanical actors.

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.

Soundform No.1

Yasuaki Kakehi (JP), Mikhail Mansion (US), Kuan-Ju Wu (US)

Soundform No.1 is a minimalistic soundscape and kinetic art installation that transforms heat energy into a poetically evolving, spatiotemporal composition. Through modulations of heat, light and motion, the artwork creates an ever-changing atmosphere of Zen-like tonal patterns and visual effects.
