lag of foreign arts in collections of China lag of innovation

representative artworks for art in China relation to gaming culture

digital art - loss of works is a problem as some are short lived rush for always the newest

multiscreen museum VR

VR came popular during the COVID pandemic museums show their collection / exhibitions in VR /AR

only two digitalartarchive.at and archive.aec.at

confinement of 2d multiscreen VR for museum archives

interaction with archived content with virtual space system searching

museum information and webpage after hour users

screen in screen and multiuser screens

user experience basic data retrieval immersive multi screen integrated design in metaverse museum

symbiotic hands

VR physical interaction system real world data sensor like temperature example allows to react on summer winter spring autumn - weather in general

binds to the location / person web XR

environmental change / experience adapted

Volumetric Music Composition in a VR-Context

Content, Omega, Atmos, Validation,

content social demand festivals genre definition non-linear space

omega project - inspired by the omega nebular colours similar to the scientific colours of the Hubble telescope

atmos linear space exploration modes of movements music structure A-B-AB circular and cross movements

validation concept through user test

Marco Innocenti

Symbiosis Asynchrony

bee futures x eden project a museum installation about bees and trees facing the todays environmental challenges

there is a huge mismatch currently in their interaction because of climate change the concept technology and art = innovation near infra red light treatment - distress the bees led glow light - growth control of flowers in greenhouse conditions help with sessional changes

bees interact via humming with the lights of the flowers

solved the problem on an artistic demo level immersivity & interaction

latent organism: a tangible interface

Lygia Clark Mika Satomi - wearable neural network

sit-able pressure sensor interface combined with keyboard prompt blend-shape and prompts updating process data creates 3d meshes and colouring text to mesh “Dreamfields” model

the prior mesh is the seed for the next A continuous shape development

deep dive into low tech

accessibility refers to both physical and cognitive access issues obstacles or barriers cultural participation and knowledge

meaningful participation xr refers to augmented, mixed virtual r overlays digitally information adding layers of meaning

barriers to engaging, hardware, costs, motion limitations conceptual barriers show a framed view glimpse of another time world space reality disrupted by screen window divide the now from the then/that/there

smart glasses share a common conceptual space less is more

case study Jordanhill cross the cross is broken only the shaft exists replica is outside the church is complete again designed with out a frame - remove the conceptual barrier

limitation not fully 3d static view

but highly accessible the act of getting around the installation create a communicative share space

Terry Trickett

Building less is more: a tale of two realities Video presentation, Barbican, City of London

development for sustainability - demolition of buildings starts - this is contra dictionary production and building more than 40% responsible of greenhouse gases not dystopian story but real projection of the future

create mixed used space in the existing space is an alternative smart change and restoration embedded carbon preservation instead of creating new ever growing megacities home work, near work, lower transportation costs with a lower higher cost of digital communication

sustainable future the heavy carbon footprint of construction
