Urban Entropy – Post City https://ars.electronica.art/postcity/en Ars Electronica 2015 Tue, 28 Jun 2022 13:02:20 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.6 POST CITY Cinema https://ars.electronica.art/postcity/en/post-city-kino/ Sat, 01 Aug 2015 12:55:00 +0000 https://ars.electronica.art/postcity/?p=3373 You won’t find popcorn or a big silver screen in POST CITY Kino. What it does have is high-tech. The Zeiss VR One is the first and, at present, only virtual reality headset to combine a stylish contemporary design with world-class precision optics by Zeiss (DE). The VR One is compatible with all commercially available smartphones. An app enables users on the go to experience VR games and videos at an unprecedented level of quality.

Critics of the System as Movie Stars

Perfect film viewing technology is one thing; films worth seeing is another matter entirely. The two films Ars Electronica will be projecting onto the VR One, Citizenfour by Laura Poitras and TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard by Simon Klose, feature NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and the proud copyright brigands of Sweden’s Pirate Bay, and thus protagonists who have scored hits on the world’s political and media systems at their most sensitive spots.
