Waco Resurrection is the first chapter of Endgames, a new 3D Third Person Shooter multiplayer computer game series based on alternative utopias and apocalyptic moments. The Endgames series attempts to incorporate elements of subjective documentary and experimental fantasy with game development technology to create a visceral gaming experience focused on extreme psycho-social phenomena.

Jansen Theo
Theo Jansen’s fascinating “beach beasts” will be on display on Linz's Main Square as well as in the O.K Center for Contemporary Art. The exhibition will showcase ingenious technical constructions that get by without electronics and motors and still manage to come across like organic creatures.

Originally an instrument for performances by the artist,“Sonic Wire Sculptor” is both a 3D drawing tool and a musical instrument. Time and again at concert performances, audience members ask Amit Pitaru if they can try out his instrument. This gave him the idea of using the software to develop this interactive installation. The drawings are projected and generate sounds, thus enabling the user to design the visual and tonal atmosphere of the entire space.

Do you dare to make your way through an eerie city by night? Running on a real treadmill, you move through the cityscape projected onto the screen in front of you, all the while determining your own direction and speed. The distance you cover in the virtual city corresponds to the number of measured meters you run on the treadmill. This is interactive cinema that calls for full physical commitment.

Sensors measure wind speed and direction, and send this data to a website. An another location, this data is received and thus to control a sculpture consisting of 2,880 light emitting diodes. In this way, wind movements are visualized by activation and reactivation of the tiny lights. The result is a multi-dimensional portrait of the wind.

MILK is an artistic mapping project, which, by using GPS (Global Positioning Systems) technologies, maps out possibilities of time & space representation in individual routes of several small-scale Latvian milk farms and of milk transportation throughout Europe. It is a cooperation project between artist Esther Polak (NL) and researcher Ieva Auzina (LV).

During a round-trip tour of Linz, otherwise invisible observation by surveillance cameras is made visible. The image that emerges via exposure by a video scanner is of a network spread across the entire city. Visitors get a glimpse of a realm in which private and public spheres overlap.

All characteristics of a living organism can be recorded as information. This installation confronts the possibility of enabling life to continue after death in the form of pure information. The Vanda Hybrida orchid is transformed into a virtual organism in a 3D environment. The characteristics of the actual plant and the changes it goes through are adopted for the virtual plant, which thereby becomes an independent organism capable of adapting to its surroundings.

Armstrong Keith, The Transmute Collective
Intimate Transactions is an exciting new form of interactive installation that allows two people in separate spaces to interact simultaneously using their bodies. Each participant uses a physical interface called a ‘Bodyshelf’. By gently moving their bodies on this ‘smart furniture’ they instigate ‘Intimate Transactions’, which influence an evolving ‘world’ created from digital imagery, multichannel sound and tactile feedback.

A virtual tennis match with a twist: monitors become the racquets. A virtual tennis match with a twist: monitors become the racquets. Players get into position to return the balls hit to them by moving the monitors to the left or right. Changing the angle of the monitor changes the path of the ball. The view and perspective of the player on the virtual center court also change in correspondence to these movements.

Infrared cameras record the movements of dancers whose clothing is outfitted with markers that the cameras can track. The images are then processed by a motion-capture system. At this point, a complex system of analysis and combination commences: software interprets the movements, visualizes in real time possible intentions of the dancers and spatial links between them, and thus produces a conceptual extrapolation of the choreography.

This installation sets up a self-enclosed space for the digital simulation of gravity. The movements of the installation’s visitors upon sensors installed in the space's flooring lead to changes in the space that are manifested as sound, light and visuals. Data about the current positions of GPS satellites flow into the visual simulation as an additional level of information that makes it possible to perceive the physical force that constantly surrounds us.

“Global Player” is able to determine the current positions of approximately 1,000 satellites and visualize their orbital paths. The topographical profile of the region a particular satellite is flying over at the moment is analyzed and G-Player translates this data into sound. Oceans have no sound; flat topographies produce high frequencies, and mountainous regions low ones. Our plant thus becomes an LP that is played via satellite.

DeMarinis Paul
Gas flames are modulated by electrical signals in such a way that they produce audible sound waves and thus become loudspeakers. Issuing from these flame-loudspeakers set up in birdcages— for the artist, a symbol of the afterlife— are speeches by Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Roosevelt over a background of chirping birds.

In this sprawling sound installation, light and sound are inseparably linked. The glowing of light bulbs is controlled by audio signals. At the same time, changes in the brightness of the bulbs lead to changes in the volume of the music. When the electrical power reaches its maximum wattage, almost total silence prevails; the dimmer the bulbs glow, the louder the soundscape becomes. Here, music is made simultaneously audible and visible.

CAPTURE is a piece which is as much music as choreography as video, and whose interpreters interpret this piece in its globality (dance, music, images) and not by separating the different artistic fields . The final form is as much a concert than a dance piece or even a live video installation. All of it.

Pixels on paper, a digital artwork on an analog surface: visitors reveal hidden layers of photographs of Japanese women by Nobuyoshi Araki that are projected onto a paper surface.With their movements in front of the installation, visitors scan the image and modify it, events that simultaneously activate the installation’s sound environment.
