Ars Electronica 2008 – A new cultural economy

September 11, 2008 at 1:32 pm · Filed under Things we liked

After some days of conferences, concerts, performances and exhibitions in Linz we are back in Berlin. Here are some of the projects we saw which we think are really amazing.

The Image Fulgurator from Julius von Bismarck : Visual information can be smuggled unnoticed into the images of others.

We also saw great visuales from Evelina Domnitch (BY) & Dmitry Gelfand (RU/US) in which laser light scans the ever-shifting surfaces of a soap bubble. The resulting images look like the one below:

The performance Blue Remix by Yann Marussich and Andreas Kurz was magical, but also disgusting: blue liquids seep through the skin of Yann Marussich thus damaging the interior stir of his body.

The reactable is an amazing collaborative electronic music-instrument with a tabletop tangible multi-touch interface. Its adictive.

The “Replenishing Body” - an interactive video installation, consists of a grid of squares (5×5) which can each record a one-second loop of film. Funny and visually really nice!

And you can find all the conferences here
