App – Radical Atoms https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/en Ars Electronica Festival 2016 Tue, 28 Jun 2022 13:26:43 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.6 Ars Wild Card + https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/en/ars-wild-card/ Mon, 01 Aug 2016 12:17:30 +0000 https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/?p=1970 Ars Wild Card is a smartphone app developed by Ars Electronica Futurelab which enables visitors to enjoy exhibitions in public spaces. Visitors can use it to get information about works in the exhibition, as well as photographing the works, even including themselves, and creating their original postcards.

Powered by angle-free object-search technology developed by NTT, we have renewed the app as Ars Wild Card +, a smartphone app specially designed for festival visitors. The angle-free object-search technology can accurately specify a three-dimensional object from a photographed image of it from any angle.  Users can get information on any work at the festival instantly, not by scanning a conventional barcode but by holding their smartphone over the object. Ars Wild Card+ can provide visitors with a more intuitive experience to connect with works and encourage new discoveries.

Through this prototype, at Ars Electronica 2016, NTT and Ars Electronica Futurelab will deliver a new vision of what human-information communications will look like in the city of the 21st century.

]]> Radwende https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/en/radwende/ Mon, 01 Aug 2016 08:50:59 +0000 https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/?p=2439 Radwende is a petition tool for improving the cycling infrastructure. It works simply by cyclists tracking their routes. These routes then are consolidated in a map that is used by city planners.

The installation records the routes traveled by cyclists every day and so “produces” a work of art each day.

The reward: every kilometer driven equals real currency, because for every 5.000 kilometers driven, the City applies a bicycle-friendly measure. In addition, users can pay our partners with their kilometers.

For 100 km you can purchase the Ars Electronica Festival catalog for 15,- euros
For 150 km you can purchase the Ars Electronica Festival day ticket for 34,- euros

Try it yourself:
– Download the Radwende Linz app for iOS and Android.
– Bicycles are available at the installation, a bicycle and you will become part of the artwork.
– Win one of the works of art.


Take a bike shuttle between POSTCITY and AEC-Rental Station at POSTCITY.
