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.

RADICAL ATOMS exhibition at Ars Electronica Center

Radical Atoms
Exhibition
07.09.2016 – 15.07.2017

The exhibition Radical Atoms centers around the digital world’s merger with the physical one and is a reference to the visions and prototypes that have emerged from the MIT Media Lab’s Tangible Media Group. Developed in cooperation with Professor Hiroshi Ishii, this exhibition demonstrates how ideas derived from art can lead to new technological concepts.

Radical Atoms Exhibition

Arranged on a thematic and chronological axis, this exhibition took the theories and works of Hiroshi Ishii, a professor at MIT Media Lab and one of the pioneers in artistically inspired technological development, as its point of departure. Examples from the early years of the Tangible Bits Group demonstrated how ideas derived from art led to the development of trailblazing and fundamentally new technological concepts. First and foremost among them are musicBottles, a 1999 work by Hiroshi Ishii (US/JP). Supplementing this exhibition were works by Carlo Ratti (US), Joachim Sauter (DE), and Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT), which were on display after the festival at Ars Electronica Center.
