The viewer’s “real” time perception collides with filmed “realtime” in an experimental combustion of long-term visual loops with seemingly coincidental and minimalist changes, thereby allowing the temporal and spacial dimension to transform into hypnotic, rhythmic, visual-music structures.

In order to adequately present their digital media work, Lohner Carlson, together with Videri, have developed a hardware-software-content-exhibition platform named Active Image technology, which, for the first time, allows complete digital uniqueness and originality, accountability, transactability, and security of the media artwork.

Aesthetically, images shown on the Active Image digital canvas rival the saturation and tranquility of analog picture or painting quality. In the near future this new presentation form will be available for all media artists. At Ars Electronica 2017 this technology will be shown for the first time, featuring artworks by Lohner Carlson and Arotin & Serghei.

The vibration of the sound is conducted through the bones, so that you perceive the sound through the medium of your own body. This experience can be compared to one of our earliest sensory perceptions: the immediate, physical sound experience of an unborn child in the womb.

You can consider it a sort of reward for sharpening your own senses. In this neighborhood of POSTCITY, festival visitors can come upon examples of anamorphosis, phenomena that become visible or legible only when one stands on a particular point and assumes a suitable perspective. Point of View addresses precisely these facts and circumstances, which can be understood just as well in a figurative sense. Interrelationships and meanings too can often be recognized only from a certain perspective.

Point of View is set up both on a large scale in the spacious halls of this former logistics facility as well as in tiny, inconspicuous corners everywhere. In the Point of View open lab, you can scrutinize this anamorphosis model and try it out yourself.

Narrator’s Lowdown (AT)

Four artists, three countries, two art fields, one topic. Reality vs. fantasy—these opposites have always been dividing people. But does one’s personal reality correspond to the mass understanding of it? What in fact influences the individual or mass definition of reality and imagination?

Four young artists bring together their observations from their past and present surroundings, and as permanent “victims” of the media they further translate these conclusions on stage through movement and image. The constant visual storm and the rapid tempo of our time are also taken as impulses for the movement language and visual outlook of the piece. From still and rigid to fluent and wild, the imagery of reality and fantasy moves through the piece like a hologram that is fluid in time and space. During the performance the artists explore what happens if these opposites, reality and fantasy, are pushed into each others like two holograms, becoming together as one.
