Museum Elevator

2003

One may safely assume that there’s going to be more to a Roy Ascott-conceptualized elevator ride in the Ars Electronica Center than merely convenient vertical transportation. And indeed, computer animation sequences projected onto the elevator car’s floor thoroughly justify the label “experience.” Viewing options include “Apollo 13,” a trip into outer space, “The Visible Human,” a high-speed toe-to-head traversal of the human body, and “Um-Chi-Im e Je-Sul- The Art of Movement,” the journey of two Manga warriors through the elevator shaft.
