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.

5th Column by Jaime de los Ríos (ES)
When the machines begin to write and paint, contemporary art is facing an existential crisis. Digital reproducibility capacity is already unlimited, which brings many possibilities but also many potential problems. 5th Column is a completely arbitrary installation that encourages reflection on the power of machines.
Digital Composition 3 (2011) by Óscar Sanmartín (ES)
All works display features of the time they were created. Technology or ideas from a certain era are visible in their aesthetic or formal aspects. This work, which clearly reveals romantic aesthetics and appears to be a traditional pencil drawing, is recreated with digital tools and technology.

Constellation (2016) by Edu Comelles (ES) and Andrea Pazos (ES)
Constellation is a generative audio-visual installation inspired by and created using countless sound files extracted from open databases from different spatial agencies and universities across the world, as well as unrecognizable fragments of soundtracks, effects, and iconic dialogues from cinematographic science fiction.

Cosmic Bitcasting (2016) by Afroditi Psarra (GR) and Cécile Lapoire (FR)
Cosmic Bitcasting is an open-source, wearable detector of secondary muons generated by cosmic rays hitting the Earth’s atmosphere that penetrate the human body by triggering a series of embedded actuators (light, sound and vibration). Cosmic Bitcasting emerges from the idea of connecting the human body with the universe by creating a wearable interface that can provide sensory feedback on the invisible cosmic radiation that passes through us.

Data Drops (2015) by Varvara Guljajeva (EE) and Mar Canet (ES)
Data Drops is a data sculpture project, which addresses the issue of personal data collection and its usage through a metaphor. The data was obtained from a survey on how people felt about their personal data being used by third parties, designed by researcher Ramon Sangüesa (www.thecityandyourdata.net). The colors resulting from people´s emotional data, collected in a previous survey, are visualized as droplets on microscope slides. The droplets move freely on the slides, chasing, merging, and interacting with each other.
Deep Life (2012) by Guillermo Casado (ES) and Azucena Giganto (ES)
Life is a network of relationships of different self-organized ecosystems that relate to each other. We explore the similarities—at least on the aesthetic level—between structures on microscopic and macroscopic scales, and observe how the network itself is a living entity that mutates and reacts unpredictably.

E6 by Santiago Latorre (ES)
E6 is a music piece based on four chords that are repeated for six minutes. In the first part, the chords are executed by synthetic sounds, generated from human DNA molecules thanks to the sound synthesizer developed by the artist. E6 uses the infrared spectrum of the basic molecules that make up DNA as source of information. As the piece evolves, the synthetic sounds open and transform as they remain restricted to the same harmonic cycle. A big fake orchestra emerges.

Encounters (2016) by María Ignacia Edwards (CL)
This artwork is the product of shared observation and experience, inspired by astronomy, music, and mathematics. The result of this gave rise to the works Mobile Wind and String Instrument comprising a piano as its resonance chamber and 11 swings as the extension and projection of its key. The project was realized during a EDASN residency project(ESO Observatory, Chile, and Ars Electronica Futurelab, Linz.)

Images from CEFCA by CEFCA—Centro de Estudios de Física del Cosmos de Aragón (ES)
Teruel, a little-known province in Aragon, eastern Spain, is home to a center for research in Astrophysics and Cosmology (CEFCA). This young institution makes good use of the Javalambre Auxiliary Telescope and its unique features, which attracts scientists from all over the world to come and observe the night sky at the Observatory.
Metrysym (2016) by Jürgen Ropp (AT) and Marta Pérez (ES)
Symmetry stands for balance, perfection and beauty. Symmetric shapes and objects attract each other, re-establishing the ideal equilibrium. The ideal of symmetry is consistently followed and investigated in physics, which led to the development of the antimatter concept. One of the main questions in this project is: How would gravity affect antimatter? Metrysym theorizes about the idea that antimatter and visible matter react differently to gravity.

Open Curiosity (2016) by Carlos Sicilia, Luis Martín, Alejandro Gállego and Luis Frisón (ES)
Open Curiosity is an open source ExoMars rover (1:5 scale) that facilitates affordable space exploration for all. Based on the NASA Curiosity Rover, it uses Arduino. Data gathered (temperature, pressure, radiation, distance, wheel position, arm position) is available on the internet for educational, scientific, or other purposes. Sensors detect obstacles to avoid collisions and it has a HD video camera.

Digital reproducibility capacity is already unlimited, which brings many possibilities but also many potential problems. 5th Column is a completely arbitrary installation that encourages reflection on the power of machines.
