Wonderful World
Dominik Schön (DE)
With Wonderful World, a piece of nature is created through interaction. Little by little the surface of the tabletop is changed by the hands of the other players, transforming the darkness of the area into a natural landscape.
Gift of Nature
Students from HLW fur Kommunikations- und Mediendesign der Kreuzschwestern Linz (AT)
Dishes, cutlery, hygiene products, toys, furniture: today, nearly everything is made of plastic—and the bulk of it is used for packaging. The goal of this project is to satirize the waste of plastic by using a label of our own design for organic products.
Human Limitations – Limited Humanity
The exhibition “Human Limitations – Limited Humanity” revolves around the relationship between humanity and the environment, and our limitations therein. What socio-ethical obligations arise from our present technologies and our ever-increasing interaction with nature?
Yuan原
Mich Tsai (TW)
This interactive project offers audiences the opportunity to reflect on themselves, through reproducing traditional Formosan music via a perspective on the triangular relationship between machine, human and nature. Yuan not only represents Formosan musical culture, it also demonstrates the notion of ‘LOSS’ and the risk of cultural histories disappearing.
Alternative Energy?
Lukas Bernhart (AT)
This project shows the risks of today's energy production and usage and questions nuclear power as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Do we want to exploit the planet until there is nothing left to use or should we be risking thousands of dead people and making large areas of the planet forever uninhabitable? Alternative Energy? investigates different energy concepts and design solutions in the Solarpunk movement.
Triaina: Model A
TOHOKUSHINSHA FILM CORPORATION x AnotherFarm (JP)
Triaina is an ongoing large-scale art project that utilizes design and technology to create sustainable ecosystems that integrate man-made forms with nature. A sculpture made from concrete and α-amino acids is placed on the seabed and acts as a cultural artifact as well as a home to marine life, promoting an ecosystem that is a symbiosis between man and nature.
The Form of Digital Nature
Yoichi Ochiai (JP)
In Digital Nature, our current norms of physical and recognition abilities are transcended. Extremely enhanced computation and resolution abilities become part of daily life. The humanity of the future may live in Digital Nature, where the very concepts of nature, artificial objects, gravity and time are overturned.
Thoughts on Day and Night
Maike Alisha Effenberg (DE)
By extending mechanical models from the 60s, you will find here a new approach towards nature and ecosystems. Contemplate the equality of the energy flow within a machine and within an organism. Both receive their energy from the light, react to it, and save it for processes at night. At least, this is what we think they do. So how much life do we find in a machine and how much construction do we find in nature?
!brute_force
Maja Smrekar (SI)
What can artificial intelligence learn from dogs? This is a question of practice-oriented artistic research aimed at developing an algorithm for artificial neural networks that is co-programmed by dogs.
THE VOICE OF THE SEA
Óscar Octavio “Ukumari” (BO), Pataxó de Barra Velha Indigenous community, Porto Seguro, Bahia (BR)
An interactive sonic landscape. By means of a contact-sensitive fishing net, visitors are transported to the seashore where they can compose music with the nature and stories of the Pataxó Indigenous community.
