Best of Prix Ars Electronica 2014
In addition to their larger-than-life size and 3-D imagery, the five Prix Ars Electronica prizewinners in this program display superb quality.

Best of Prix Ars Electronica 2014 - The Chimera of M.
A slot all its own is set aside for the surreal 3-D animated film The Chimera of M. by Sebastian Buerkner (DE) that garnered an Honorary Mention in the Computer Animation / Film / VFX category.

Best of Prix Ars Electronica 2014 - Kazuhiro Goshima
Kazuhiro Goshima präsentiert persönlich zwei seiner Arbeiten: Shadowland, beim Prix Ars Electronica 2014 in der Sparte Computer Animation / Film / VFX ausgezeichnet, sowie die Tokyo Three Dimensional Suite.

Story Weaver - The Crane Returns a Favor
Story Weaver is a piano piece coupled with animated images. The pianist is Maki Namekawa, a native of Japan who lives in Linz. It’s based on the Japanese fable “The Crane Returns a Favor.” Deep Space’s technical infrastructure makes this performance a holistic experience.

_grau
In addition to two other works, filmmaker/media designer Robert Seidel will present in Deep Space a 3-D version of his 2004 experimental film “_grau,” Seidel’s very personal reflections of his impressions and thoughts during a car accident.

Quadrature: White Sample & raum.null
During his stint as artist in residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab from October to December 2013, Chilean electronic musician Ignacio Cuevas Puyol alias White Sample worked together with the lab’s staff to develop open-source hardware for musicians.

Real Imaginary Objects
In Deep Space, Daniel Crooks will personally present the works he created as artist in residence at the Ars Electronica Futurelab. The video artist endeavors to employ time as a physical material in his artistic practice, and to transcend the monitor screen to enter the domain of three-dimensional physical sculpture.

Anatta
Do the projections programmed by Victor Delev determine the movements of dancer Joanna Gruberska in Deep Space, or does her sequence of steps choreograph the visuals? Laser tracking is the medium that interlinks dancing body and software.

Game Changer
So-called serious games and other game-based solutions to problems have achieved notable successes in recent years when called upon to tackle a wide variety of problems—for instance, analyzing huge data sets or motivating XXL couch potatoes to get more exercise.

Gigantic World Record – 360° Gigapixel Photography
Jeffrey Martin specializes in creating photos of cities, usually shot from the top of a tower or skyscraper. His gigapixel photos are usually 360º panorama pictures, created from thousands of individual photos that have been carefully stitched together.

The Machine View – Robotic Face Cartography
Swiss advertising & press photographer Daniel Boschung maps faces. But instead of snapping the images himself, he delegates the job to an industrial robot controlled by custom-programmed software.

Sinne und Sein
Painter/actionist Hermann Nitsch, one of the most important contemporary artists, is making a guest appearance in Deep Space. All the highpoints of Nitsch’s oeuvre - Viennese actionism, his famous splatter paintings, the Orgiastic Mystery Theater—have triggered heated discussions.

Presentation u19 - CREATE YOUR WORLD 2014
The grand finale of this year’s u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD will be a review of all the cool stuff that went on over the past four days on Spittelwiese and a presentation of what was developed at Youtube:Lab and Film:Lab, by and with Kino5 and under the motto of Animate Your City.

Ravel Landscapes
Ravel Landscapes blends imagery by visual artists Quayola und Sinigaglia with the music of Maurice Ravel as performed by French piano virtuosa Vanessa Wagner.

Touching
Touching seeks to propagate sound in space and to carry on a dialog - of the two performers with one another as well as with the space and the sound. They animate, spatialize and modify concrete tonal material and interlink it with visuals designed especially for this performance.

Best of Deep Space
The very best of the regular Deep Space program at the Ars Electronica Center.

Presentation LipDub
Kristefan Minski (AU/AT) and Roland Krenn (AT) present a first raw cut of the big “Take a Chance, Take a Change” LipDub, screen backstage photos and elaborate on the making of the video composed of sequences shot by hundreds of individuals.
