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.

Flora

Pim Boreel (NL)

Flora is a living audiovisual installation that explores the relationship between human beings, technology and nature. This installation is an airtight glass cube, totally cut off from the outside world. Within this cube, an ecosystem is growing based on condensation. Fractal-like spores are taking shape on the glass. When drops of condensation hit sensors inside the installation, light and sound impulses are set in motion. Set within a dark space, this creates an experience for the audience around the living entity that is Flora.

Found Sound Discovery

Found Sound Discovery explores movement, time and sound. An installation that involves analogue and digital interactions with the world around us. Through sensors and found objects, mechanical and digital interactions create the possibility of discovered sound.
