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.

Syncness by Saša Spačal and Slavko Glamočanin (SI)
Syncness is an audiovisual interface that researches human ability to relate to beings that are considered inferior by anthropocentric arborescent taxonomic classifications such as the tree of life. It is an invitation to try to vocally sync with crickets and develop a relationship. Syncness creates opportunities for sound synchronization between human beings and crickets. Identification of signals transmitted by the animals is similar to close encounters of the third kind, but the alienated other is replaced by Acheta domesticus crickets. It is a first step towards an algorithmic language that would enable non-verbal interspecies communication. The audiovisual dialog is transmitted to space via radio as to reflect upon the human urge to find extraterrestrial life and establish relationships with beings that are alien to our species. projectsyncness.wordpress.com
