TIMESHIFT Exhibition
Besides hosting the TIMESHIFT Symposia and the electrolobby at this year’s festival, the Brucknerhaus will also be the venue of an exhibition containing some astounding installations.
The middle point of “Timeline +/- 25” is the 25th anniversary of Ars Electronica with its thousands of projects and participants. This large-scale installation provides a one-of-a-kind portrait of media art and its lines of development by depicting the network of Ars Electronica in a global context. An online wiki leaves the design of the next quarter century up to festival visitors.
In “Minimundus – Milestones of 20th Century Media Art,” Seppo Gründler (A) presents five important works from the history of media art as fully functional miniatures. The artists represented are Nam June Paik, John Cage, SRL, Steve Reich and Max Neuhaus.
A giant audio synthesizer that was developed between 1974 and 1988 is featured in Joe Paradiso’s (USA) “Modular Synthesizer.” This project pays tribute to analog sound effects and the pioneers of electronic music.
In “Gedanken bewegen – Moving Thoughts,” the Department of Human-Computer Interfaces at the Technical University of Graz gives us a glimpse into the future of the human-computer interface. A brain-computer interface makes it possible to control a computer directly by means of brain currents.
