Solastalgia Detector
Erika Mondria (AT), Ars Electronica Solutions

Music for the Senses, Austrian Pavilion @EXPO Dubai 2020
Rupert Huber (AT)
Rupert Huber’s music installation “Music of the Senses” is a musical-architectural bridge between Austria’s rich musical tradition, and Rupert Huber’s future-oriented format of designing social music in real spaces. This music installation was an integral part of the Austrian Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020.
In the adaptation for the Ars Electronica Solutions Sound Studio, Huber uses the space to present a more intimate, direct recomposition and, by adapting the sensor technology, to give visitors a direct, locatable sound experience, the music, that envelops them while they themselves orchestrate the composition.

Solar Synthesizer 0.4 – The Sunny Boys
Alexander Minichmair (AT), Felix Minichmair (AT), Klaus Dieterstorfer (AT), Rupert Huber (AT)
The dream of a self-sufficient life occupies many people more than ever. The Solar Synthesizer 0.4 is the first attempt to transform the energy of the sun into sound. The sun is not only used to generate sound, but also powers the entire system and is thus independent of energy from the grid.

Receipt-scape
Florian Berger (AT)
A generative algorithm produces an infinite landscape as binary code which is directly interpreted by a conventional point-of-sale-printer, hereby, with a wink, questioning the tiresome conventional way of producing graphics by engines, drivers, graphics software etc., and, even though using a somewhat anachronistic technology, extending the perception in a way that is not even possible on usual display methods (by utilizing a “so to say” mixed temporal/spatial dimension).

Satellite imagery provides the stunning views of the Earth that document and assess the changes. Based on the technologies developed for the „Φ-Experience“, the Deep Space 8K application „Earth from Space“ provides a stunning and detailed insight into global change.
