Idea / Concept / Project Management: Susi Windischbauer

Ars Electronica is collaborating with the Media Facades Festival Europe 2010 to present a fascinating array of art projects on the façade of the Ars Electronica Center and on the Tabakfabrik grounds during this year’s festival. The accent is on fostering a process of exchange among a diversified group of cities and countries and initiating an intercultural dialog about the medium of urban screens and media façades as well as the utilization of new communications technologies. Connected Cities infrastructure enables participating artists to propagate their projects in public spaces and to present them to large European audiences in Joint Broadcasting Events. The media facades will be transformed into local stages and open a global window for cultural and societal processes to create a dialogue and connect the local public virtually with the other places throughout Europe.

Tabakfabrik, Facades of the inner courtyard

Though they’re separated by thousands of kilometers, they can collaboratively create with light and shadow, color and contrast as if they shared an atelier. They—four of Europe’s most interesting visual arts projects—will be working together with the Ars Electronica Futurelab in conjunction with the Media Facades Festival Europe 2010 to immerse the Tabakfabrik’s inner courtyard in a new light.

Ars Electronica Center Linz, Level +1

The new exhibition in the Ars Electronica Center Linz pays tribute to the creativity, courage and inventiveness of those men and women who have totally committed their energies, abilities and knowledge to a vision of the future. This exhibition surveys a 200-year time span: looking back at what people about a century ago anticipated for this day and age, and showcasing what contemporary thinkers foresee 100 years from now.

As proxies standing for all the visionaries and trailblazers who have worked on their respective „futures“ over the course of humankind‘s history, French writer, illustrator and caricaturist Albert Robida (1848–1926) and Belgian visionary Paul Otlet (1868–1944) occupy this exhibition‘s spotlight.

Works in the exhibition:

• Bruce Herr, Katy Borner (US), Wikipedia Visualization
• Marjolin Dijkman (BE, NL), *Wandering through the Future*

The third part of the exhibition features the Prix Ars Electronica’s prizewinning Next Ideas. For several years now, Ars Electronica and voestalpine have awarded [the next idea] voestalpine Art and Technology Grant as a means of actively nurturing innovative developments and enabling very creative people to implement their visionary concepts.Regardless of whether these innovations are of an artistic, social, technological or scientific nature, all of the projects that make up this exhibition fascinate us with their extraordinary, original ideas for our future.

29.07. – 12.09. at the Ars Electronica Center

The “Sense the Invisible” exhibition at the Ars Electronica Center features interactive works by h.o, a 15-person artists’ collective whose leading light is Hideaki Ogawa (JP). Since 1999, this crew— with a constantly evolving lineup of personnel—has been staging encounters with various phenomena manifested by our modern Information Society.

The group’s interest was initially focused on aspects such as time and communication; their recent works have dealt increasingly with social inter-action and visions of the future. Hideaki and Emiko Ogawa have been Artists in Residence at Ars Electronica since 2007. In this exhibition, which is divided among several locations, the Ars Electronica Center provides insights into the diversity of h.o’s projects.

Members of h.o:
Hideaki Ogawa, Emiko Ogawa, Junichi Yura, Taizo Zushi, Yuichi Tamagawa, Mizuya Sato, Yoko Minagawa, Satoshi Onodera, Sakura Toyabe, Kaori Honda, Shota Ishimura, Yukiko Okamura, Yuichiro Haraguchi, Tomonori Kondo, Ayano Urabe

“Raise Your Voice” is an often-exclaimed call to speak out loud and clear and to take action against global inequities and social evils. You’ll be getting an earful from artists whose works endeavor to build bridges between abstract facts & figures and the actual facts & circumstances of everyday life. Efforts that take the form of critical documentation, creative use of previously resources, or exhortations to get actively involved – to speak out in no uncertain terms and make your protest resound for all to hear. This won’t be a swan song dedicated to the good old days; the name of this tune is “You Better Move On”!

6.9., 19:00

Linz Music School and the Ars Electronica Center cordially invite you to attend a very special concert. Students and instructors participating in the school’s Sound Workshop will perform compositions by Arvo Pärt, Karl Heinz Stockhausen, Marin Marais et al. while stardust and satellites, moons, planets, suns and galaxies whirl about concertgoers in Deep Space. Admission is free. Reserved seat tickets will be available at the Ars Electronica Center’s Infodesk beginning September 2, 2010.

Participants:
Students: Maximilian Walch, Josef Haider (Elektronik), Katharina Dürrschmid (Hackbrett, Blockflöte), Katrin Angerbauer (Klaver, Blockflöte), Sabrina Bayer (Blockflöte und Elektronik), Raffaela Niederleitner (Blockflöte), Christa Mayerhofer (Violine)
Teachers: Petra Wurz, Marco Palewicz (Elektronik), Franziska Fleischanderl (Hackbrett)

To fly on our own has been an eternal dream for humans. An action impossible in reality becomes a possibility within this limited space delineated by the tall and narrow screen in the installation. This work is sustained by self-awareness, that fundamental consciousness possessed by humans. The piece works based on the sensation that the small you in the image has turned into you. It is almost as though you have become the silhouette on the screen. In fact, we experience this kind of sensation of shamanistic possession in everyday life – for example, when you control a character in a computer game and feel like you have turned into that character, or when you feel like the curser on the screen has turned into our your fingertip.

Contemporary art has long become a world of hollow concepts and symbols that is separated from expression of consciousness itself. This work brings fundamental questions into relief, like what it means to be you, what can become yourself, and what new self human beings will obtain in the future. The artists want to return to the physical sensations of our own bodies, and from there embark on a thrilling challenge to find a new way of being for ourselves.

Tatsuya Saito, Tokyo University of the Arts

He’s 130 centimeters tall and weighs 54 kilos. He responds to his name, can greet you with a handshake, walk up and down a flight of stairs, and jog at a speed of 6 kilometers/hour. So what’s so special about that, you ask? Not much if this were a little kid. But we’re talking about ASIMO, the world’s most advanced humanoid robot. From September 2nd to 8th, he’ll be the featured guest at the Ars Electronica Center. And you can meet him in person. Face to face. Honda’s state-of-the-art humanoid robot ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) is making his Austrian debut at this year‘s Ars Electronica Festival.

For holders of a valid ticket to the Museum or the Festival, admission is free of charge.

PLEASE NOTE: Seating is limited. Reserved seat tickets will be available beginning September 2nd at the Ars Electronica Center (Infodesk, Box Office). Dates & times, seating capacity and reservations from August 19th: ars.electronica.art/asimo or via e-mail to asimo@aec.at
