Listening capsules (light version)
Thomas Barbé (FR), the Random(lab)
Our body is a tactile receiver of all musical waves: we perceive them through our skin, muscles, nerves, bones, etc. The listening capsules immerse the viewer in “somesthetic” compositions generated live by an algorithm. The intention is to take the listener out of his usual sound environment in order to invite him to renew his listening experience. These waves, sinusoidal frequencies, are composed and synthesized generatively by a software specifically developed for the installation, the sinoto.
Immersify
Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PL), Spin Digital Video Technologies GmbH (DE), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT), Marché du Film – Festival de Cannes (FR), Visualization Center C (SE)
Immersify is a European Research & Development consortium funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program, connecting the Ars Electronica Futurelab with four other European partners to research the next generation of immersive media. At the 2019 Ars Electronica Festival, Immersify presents selected works at Deep Space 8K.
Immersify 8K Live Streaming Demo
The Immersify 8K Live Streaming Demo will premiere a real-time transmission of 8K content in the immersive environment that is Deep Space 8K. The encoder and decoder functionalities that are necessary for such an ambitious streaming demonstration have been developed in the context of the European research project Immersify. Immersify partner Spin Digital is providing flexible and high-performance software 8K playback on PC platforms with the software player Spin Player, while the Advantech VEGA encoder platform and streaming via public internet complete the setup. Lastly, Deep Space 8K at the Ars Electronica Center provides an impressive media environment for the pioneering demonstration. In collaboration with NHK Technologies, a live stream will be demonstrated from Japan to Linz, and with PSNC, an 8K stream from Poznan in Poland to Deep Space 8K, each with special content.
Tagtool im Deep Space
Markus Dorninger (AT), Matthias Fritz (AT)
OMAi presents an interactive artistic production in Deep Space 8K! The installation is the result of a recent residency of Tagtool artists from all over the world. Together they will create an impressive work of art specifically for Deep Space, with many details and everything in motion. The audience can also take part in the design process on site.
OPENING: Ars Electronica Special / Unboxing the festival
As every year, we will open the first evening of the festival with an exciting performance program. The focus will be on the various artistic possibilities offered by the voice, improvisation, and neural networks in humans and machines.
The Big Concert Night 2019
Since 2003, the collaboration with the Bruckner Orchestra has been an integral and unique part of the Ars Electronica Festival. It is a collaboration that makes it possible not only to perform interesting works each year, but also to develop unique artistic projects that bring together a wide variety of orchestral music, electronic music, robots, dancers and digital images.
