ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE - ART & SCIENCE

The basis of the „European Digital Art and Science Network“ is a big manifold network consisting of scientific mentoring institutions (ESA, CERN, ESO and Fraunhofer MEVIS), the Ars Electronica Futurelab and seven European cultural partners (Center for the promotion of science, RS – DIG Gallery, SK – Zaragoza City of Knowledge Foundation, ES – Kapelica Gallery / Kersnikova, SI – GV Art, UK – Laboral, ES – Science Gallery, IE. The EU funded project lasted from 2014 to 2017.
The Online Archive of Ars Electronica provides an overview of the individual activities of the network and also delivers information about the network itself, the residency artists and the involved project partners and the jury.

    The Interrogation of Detainee 063
    The piece is a collaborative project developed by Shane O’Mara, Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin, Director of the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, TRAUMA co-curator, and designer and self-professed data junkie Stefanie Posavec. The piece is based on the log detainee063.com, and visualizes 50 days (23.11.2002 – 11.01.2003) of the interrogation of prisoner Mohammed Mana Ahmed al-Qahtani at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Viewed from a distance, the pastel colors and pattern are pleasant and welcoming but on closer inspection the darker side of the piece comes into focus with color-coding showing the duration of different aspects of interrogation punctuated by feeding, sleep and bathroom breaks. Over 101,000 visitors visited the TRAUMA exhibition. The piece was reviewed together with TRAUMA in an edition of Nature. This piece was also discussed in a linked public event with Professor O’Mara called Why Torture Doesn’t Work: The Neuroscience of Interrogation, which was attended by over 120 people.
