INTELLIGENT AMBIENCE

With the help of artificial environments such as airplanes, cars, appartments,
satellites and other surfaces respectively interfaces like multi- or hyper-media,
telephone, CD-ROM, modem, e-mail it can be demonstrated to
what extent computer-assisted artificial intelligence and
advanced sensor-technology have changed our concept of the environment.
As a central topic, Ars Electronica 94 picked out the wide range covered
by the new term "Intelligent Ambience" (Architecture and Electronic Media,
Computer City, Intelligent Products, Life in the Net)
and the challenge of the electronic paradigm defining reality
in the context of media and simulation.
Cyber Art - the examples of artificial model worlds,
cyberspace and virtual reality installations and multi-media networks
showed a fundamental change from a natural environment
left to itself to an artificial environment,
from a passive surrounding to an interactive partner.
