Expanded Geoengineering
Tega Brain (AU) & Sam Lavigne (US)
Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne will share their recent collaborative practice that explores the role of computation in response to the climate crisis. Calling their recent body of work Expanded Geoengineering, they challenge us to reconsider what counts as engineering, and they reframe climate change as being a problem of politics, media and culture.
Ars Electronica Futurelab: Life Ink Exhibition
Wacom Co., Ltd. (JP); Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
In the Life Ink exhibition, the Ars Electronica Futurelab presents wearable gear for the real-time visualization of brainwave and body signals as digital brush strokes, called Life Ink. The project explores the inner mechanism of creativity in our brain and body to develop a new form of ink. Life Ink is part of the lab's Future Ink research project with Wacom, with workshops and demonstrations on Space Ink, Bio Ink and Life Ink throughout the Festival.
Ars Electronica Futurelab: Life Ink Demo
Wacom Co., Ltd. (JP); Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
In the Life Ink exhibition, the Ars Electronica Futurelab presents wearable gear for the real-time visualization of brainwave and body signals as digital brush strokes, called Life Ink. The project explores the inner mechanism of creativity in our brain and body to develop a new form of ink. In the workshop some of the visitors can try out the gear, creating their own Life Ink. Life Ink is part of the lab's Future Ink research project with Wacom, with Festival workshops and demonstrations.
Ars Electronica Futurelab: Bio Ink Experience
Wacom Co., Ltd. (JP) Yoko Shimizu (JP), Ars Electronica Futurelab
In the Bio Ink Experience, visitors draw and write with living ink comprised of various microorganisms. The data from Wacom pens and tablets is digitally extracted while the artworks morph into beautiful patterns in a new ecosystem of creativity. Bio Ink is part of the lab's Future Ink research project: To experience the latest developments, visit the brand-new exhibition on Life Ink in the Ars Electronica Center with prototype demonstrations and a performance during the Festival.
Prix Forum Wrap-Up
Sarah Kriesche (AT), Isabelle Arvers (FR), José-Carlos Mariátegui (PE), Thomas Gegenhuber (AT)
Die ModeratorInnen der drei verschiedenen Prix-Forum-Panels werden gemeinsam über die diesjährige Projektauswahl reflektieren. Besonderes Augenmerk wird darauf gerichtet, welche Schlüsselwörter in den Paneldiskussionen (wieder) auftauchten und welche Rückschlüsse aus den Themen der einzelnen Arbeiten im Bezug auf die allgegenwärtigen Frage "But How?" gezogen werden können.
Prix Forum: Interactive Art +
José-Carlos Mariategui (PE/GB), Cristhian Avila (PE), Jung Hsu (TW), Natalia Rivera (CO), Sam Lavigne (US), Tega Brain (AU)
Das Prix Forum - Interactive Art + ist eine offene Diskussion zwischen den drei Preisträgern des Prix Ars Electronica 2022 und einem Jurymitglied.
The Nature of Systems
Sebastian Pirch (AT), Norbert Unfug (AT), Christiane V. R. Hütter (AT), Jörg Menche (DE)
We live in the anthropocene, where human and natural ecosystems collide. In this interactive visualization, we explore the emergence and breakdown of complex systems from the cellular to the planetary scale. Life emerges from the interactions of biomolecules, cities from connecting people, the global society from sharing ideas. These systems can be beautiful, but also fragile.
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.
Ars Electronica Futurelab: Dataspace: Russia/Ukraine.Deep Impacts
Nikkei Innovation Lab: Hiroyuki Watanabe (JP), Nobuyuki Oishi (JP), Takeshi Yamada (JP), Akihito Takei (JP), Masami Fujita (JP), Ars Electronica Futurelab: Arno Deutschbauer (AT), Manuel Dobusch (AT), Nicolas Naveau (FR, AT), Hideaki Ogawa (JP), Raphael Schaumburg-Lippe (AT), Julian Zauner (AT)
DATASPACE proposes a "newspaper of the future": Here, the Ars Electronica Futurelab and financial newspaper Nikkei's Innovation Lab demonstrate, how art and journalism can help to listen carefully to facts and think deeply rather than just consuming and reacting to news. The first project focuses on the profound impact Russia's war on Ukraine has all around the world now and in the future - inviting visitors into a sort of Zen garden of data, using the unique infrastructure of Deep Space 8K.
Ars Electronica ANIMATION FESTIVAL 2022
After two very challenging years, the Ars Electronica Animation Festival returns to its physical space. The screening programs and presentations will be shown at the JKU Campus and the Ars Electronica Center Deep Space 8K. The Expanded Animation Symposium and the Synaesthetic Syntax conference, organized with the UCA since 2020, will take place at the Ars Electronica Center.
