Deep Delivery
Jeremiah Diephuis (US), Andrea Haider-Pachtrog (AT), Rita Hainzl (AT), Paul Huemer (AT), Sebastian Mayer (AT) 

In the co-located game Deep Delivery, designed specifically for Deep Space in the Ars Electronica Center, players assume the role of delivery services that take orders from the participating viewing audience, competing for the most accurate and fastest delivery performance.

Cooperative Aesthetics
Carlotta Borcherding (DE), Axel Bräuer (AT), Ariathney Coyne (AT), Joann Lee (KR), Katherine Romero (CO), Emilia Vogt (DE), Friederike Weber (DE)

The interactive artworks under the title „Cooperative Aesthetics“ were created at the Art University of Linz by students of Timebased and Interactive Media Arts and Interface Culture under the supervision of Univ.-Prof. Gerhard Funk and Sen.Artist Holunder Heiß. Using the lasertracking system of the Ars Electronica Deep Space they enable visitors to have a collective, audiovisual, aesthetic experience.

Deep Space Selection

At Deep Space Selection we present several times a day a selection from our programme variety, which we have been continuously developing since 2009. You can expect exciting stories and immersive experiences in impressive image quality and colour brilliance from the thematic fields of media art, science, technology, interaction and action.

Deep Space Evolution

2022, here and now. For months, the teams from Ars Electronica Futurelab and Ars Electronica Solutions have been pushing ahead with the evolution of the Deep Space 8K.

Gigapixel Images from the Vatican Museums — The Frescoes by Pietro Perugino in the Sistine Chapel: Beauty Leading to Faith
Dr. Barbara Jatta (IT), Dr. Rosanna Di Pinto (IT)

For the first time, the Vatican Museums will be guests at the Ars Electronica Center for a special Cultural Heritage Series based on a cooperation with the Vatican Museums and the Embassy of Austria to the Holy See in Rome. Gigapixel images of two outstanding artworks by the Great Master Pietro Perugino in the Sistine Chapel — the main Chapel in the Pope’s Palace — will be presented at Deep Space 8K.

The Mona Lisa
Vincent Delieuvin (FR), Christelle Terrier (FR), Roei Amit (FR)

Why is the Mona Lisa the most famous painting in the world? The answers to this apparently simple question are varied, complex and surprising, giving visitors an insight into part of the myth and above all into the work itself, beyond any false mysteries and clichés.  This immersive exhibition invites a wide audience to experience an exhibition, and everyone's relationship with this emblematic work, in a brand-new way.

Superlative telescopes: In the desert and far behind the moon
Dr. Dietmar Hager — Stargazer Observatory (AT)

The well-known Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has reached its limits. Modern telescopes will have to work outside visible light to make new discoveries possible. The JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) is one of the successors. It will be supported by Earth-based telescopes, such as the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), which is currently being built in Chile. The talk reaches out from the HST to the JWST and the GMT and gives an idea of how new insights will revolutionize our understanding of space.

Searching for Planet B: How Astronomy Visualization and Remote Sensing Guide Us to Humanity’s Future
Dan Tell (US) 

Thousands of years of increasingly precise measuring and modeling have revolutionized humanity’s understanding of the universe. We now know Earth is one of many planets, but it is uniquely habitable. The same research and techniques we use to understand these other worlds can help us understand what made Earth habitable in the first place and how we can restore and sustain this planet into the future.
