Young designers and up-and-coming creatives in the field of interactive game design will work together with festivalgoers to come up with elements for a game. The aim is blend in analog techniques to produce a game-playing performance for the theatrical stage.

The Third and the Seventh

The Third and The Seventh is an ironic take on perfection and beauty. Full of subtle allusions to the animation milestones of the 20th century’s architectural and cinematic world of imagery, this work conveys us through an aseptic, romantically transfigured concept of perfection.

Jerry T. Bonell (US), Dietmar Hager (AT) and ESO Scientists

Top experts will convey their astronomical knowledge to novices, intermediate students and advanced practitioners, and elaborate on what humankind now knows about the universe. Jerry T. Bonell (US) of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center will explain the “hot universe” that is brimming with high-energy insights. Scientists of the European Southern Observatory in Chile, on the other hand, will introduce us to the “cold universe”. The visible portion of the cosmos will be explained by Dietmar Hager (AT), an astrophotographer who’s certainly the right man for this job.

Le Phénomène Atmospherique is an impressive film about meteorological phenomena. Dreams combines digital drawings with experimental animation, and invites viewers to go on a kaleidoscopic journey into abstract worlds of imagery.

Featuring breathtaking images from outer space, Blue Planet takes viewers on a fascinating journey to places at which the power of life and nature manifests itself.

DoppelLab software was developed at the MIT Media Lab in Boston (US). It can work dynamically with real-time data delivered by sensors such as those installed in a private home. DoppelLab uses these data to create virtual worlds that enable users not only to get an overview of what’s happing in the house but also to directly intervene in those events.

The conceptual point of departure of this is the fact that, wherever we go, we always leave behind traces—data that can be gathered, evaluated and stored to memory. The only question has to do with the form in which such data has to be put in order for us to really be able to understand it and the reason why we’re using this information.

To achieve this objective, the project crew’s building on the MIT campus was equipped with lots of sensors that registered every movement in the facility and visualized as moving points of light the constant comings & goings in the halls, offices and lobby.

Such a 3D model of the MIT building will be on display at Deep Space. More or less concentrated groupings of points of light provide precise information about which rooms people are currently using or moving through.
An interactive installation at the Ars Electronica Center makes it possible to step out of the role of non-participant observer, to be visible at MIT and, while still in Linz, to interact with MIT personnel.

The Institute of High Energy Physics (AT) offers a glimpse behind the scenes of scientific research. The Cosmic Radiation workshop gives an up-close look at the state of the universe shortly after The Big Bang. At The Secretof Particles from Outer Space, kids can enter a kind of spark chamber and experience how mysterious particles from the cosmos bombard Earth. The 3-D film Inside LHC accompanies Austrian physicist Michael Hoch on his way down into the LHC’s 27km-long tunnel.
