                  31.08.2011 10:00-21:00

                  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

                  [the next idea] is an art & technology grant awarded annually by voestalpine and Ars Electronica. It honors inspiring, new and unusual ideas with great future promise and supports their further development. The judges seek innovations of an artistic and social as well as a technological, scientific nature. In conjunction with CREATE YOUR WORLD, we will be showcasing some of this year’s be

                  ONDZ - HAND CLAPPING MACHINE

                  31.08.2011 10:00-21:00

                  Ondz is an interactive machine capable of producing human hand clapping artificially. The physical clapping sound is generated by patting on a pair of artificial palms. Visitors can control Ondz at www.byebyeworld.com/ondz_mobile

                  PARTICLES

                  31.08.2011 10:00-21:00

                  This walk-through installation by Manabe (JP) and Ishibashi (JP) is an exquisitely beautiful work of light art. On a construction that resembles a rollercoaster, light balls can be orchestrated via control screen to whiz about in all directions and grouped into brilliant moving patterns.

                  IRON MASK - WHITE TORTURE

                  Iron Mask – White Torture focuses on the subject of female migration before the background of Europe’s postcolonial history. The chief protagonist of this installation is a figure with a big following throughout Latin America—the slave girl named Anastácia. Legend has it that her owner sentenced her to lifelong silence constrained in an iron gag. She is venerated as a rebel, as a fighter in

                  THE PARTICLE

                  31.08.2011 10:00-21:00

                  In the beginning of life on Earth, there was a long interplay of chaos and (brief instances of) order, of stability and disintegration. Fascinated by the origination and break-down of forms and order, Alex Posada (ES) developed The Particle, his massive sculpture positively brimming with energy. Its central elements are rings studded with multicolored LED lights. They rapidly rotate and produce so

                  ROBOTINITY – THE NEW ROBOLAB / WHAT MACHINES DREAM OF

                  31.08.2011 10:00-21:00

                  Human beings have been developing machines for thousands of years. But what drives us on to do so? Is it the urge to understand and recreate nature and its processes? Is it perhaps our audacious pretensions to be capable of improving on the world as it is? Or are we just curious? What Machines Dream Of is an exhibition that nicely complements the festival theme. It brings together artistic machine

                  Fireballs, lightning, music and dance—the Tesla Orchestra (US), founded in 2009 by Ian Charnas (US) at Case Western Reserve University, is a circus in grandiose style. The world’s two largest Tesla coils are this off-beat orchestra’s instruments. They use 26 kilowatts of energy to produce four-meter-high bolts of lightning, and convert million-volt high tension into audio frequencies. Bu
