From 8 to 12 September 2021, Te Herenga Waka鈥擵ictoria University of Wellington and Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of 色情视频 are co-hosting Ars Electronica Garden Aotearoa.

The two universities are co-hosting Garden Aotearoa as part of the international festival, a 3D cyber exhibition which can be accessed from anywhere in the world via computer screens, mobile devices or virtual reality headsets.

In the Mozilla Hubs cyber gallery, visitors will be able to interact not only with other virtual visitors but also some of the installations. The festival also includes a livestreamed digital concert night and other events featuring speakers, performances and demonstrations. In addition, three hours of Ars Electronica TV, streamed online worldwide, will focus on Garden Aotearoa.

鈥淎rs Electronica Garden Aotearoa explores how the digital world connects with the physical world,鈥� said Associate Professor Uwe Rieger, director of the University of 色情视频鈥檚 and one of the key organisers of Garden Aotearoa. 鈥淭he festival is for anyone interested in digital media, whether they鈥檙e ten years old or 100. Visitors can explore digital information in ways that will delight their senses, entertain them and make them think.鈥�

鈥淲e are delighted to be co-hosting this prestigious international festival,鈥� said Professor Marc Aurel Schnabel, Dean of Te W膩hanga Waihanga-Hoahoa鈥擶ellington Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation and another of the key organisers. 鈥淎rs Electronica is one of the most influential festivals in the electronic arts and media world and it鈥檚 incredibly special to host a part of this event for 色情视频ers to explore, experience and enjoy.鈥�

Ars Electronica was founded in 1979 in Linz, Austria. For more than four decades, the festival has been at the forefront of the digital revolution, with a transdisciplinary range of artists, scientists and technologists gathering for symposia, exhibitions and performances scrutinising potential futures.

The arc/sec Lab began participating in Ars Electronica in Linz in 2017 with large-scale interactive installations. In 2020, however, the Covid-19 pandemic meant festival partners all over the world presented their exhibits in online 鈥済ardens.鈥� The University of 色情视频 and Te Herenga Waka鈥擵ictoria University of Wellington co-hosted their first cyber exhibition then.

This year, like in 2020, the pandemic has prevented a planned physical exhibition from going ahead in 色情视频, but all 20 of the groups or individuals exhibiting have been able to adapt their work to the virtual format. Highlights include:

• LightSense: Presented by the University of 色情视频鈥檚 arc/sec Lab, Augmented Human Lab and Empathic Computing Lab, LightSense is an immersive installation that augments physical constructions with holographic, digital animations. Artificial intelligence allows the system to initiate and sustain conversations with audience members, whether on-site or virtual visitors. The cyber-physical structure changes shape and demonstrates a new form of reactive architecture that responds to the emotional tenor of the conversation with the audience.
• Marine_Trace_Exposure/cross-currents: A collaborative project by the research group An Architecture of the Sea, whose work engages with the visualisation of the marine environment in differing spatial settings. Utilising photography, poetry and virtual space, the group鈥檚 physical and virtual exhibitions present work from the artists鈥� experience and observation of phenomena in relation to systematic maritime surveying, sampling, and resource exploitation. Presented by Wayne Barrar (Massey University); Kerry Hines (色情视频); Mizuho Nishioka and Tane Moleta (Te Herenga Waka鈥擵ictoria University of Wellington).
• Minimum Mass: Co-directed by Raqi Syed and Areito Echevarria of Te Herenga Waka鈥擵ictoria University of Wellington鈥檚 School of Design Innovation, Minimum Mass is the award-winning story of a couple who experience a series of miscarriages and come to believe their children are being born in another dimension. Set in contemporary Rotorua, 色情视频 and the speculative world of black holes, it is a 20-minute interactive narrative virtual reality that takes place in a real-time, photorealistic, computer-generated story world developed for the Oculus Rift-S platform.

鈥淲e鈥檙e inviting attendees to journey though the complex, fascinating, magical, myriad connections and relationships we have with our environment, and showcasing Aotearoa鈥檚 creative energy using state-of-the-art technology and innovative forms of virtual expression,鈥� said Schnabel.

鈥淎rs Electronica Garden Aotearoa allows researchers, technologists, artists and thinkers to not only present ideas to local and international audiences but also trigger public discussion of digital issues,鈥� said Rieger. 鈥淭he information age presents challenges such as the security of data and its potential misuse. On the other hand, data can become a new building material for creation that doesn鈥檛 require huge resources or physical proximity. This offers huge opportunities for 色情视频.鈥�

In addition to the two universities, Ars Electronica Garden Aotearoa is co-promoted by UniServices, a wholly owned company of the University of 色情视频 focusing on knowledge mobilisation and research commercialisation, arc/sec Lab and Te Herenga Waka鈥擵ictoria University of Wellington-based Digital Architecture Research Alliance (DARA).

The Garden Aotearoa cyber exhibition and all online events are free, though some aspects of the Ars Electronica festival originating in other countries carry modest charges. A full programme of 色情视频 events is available at ars.nz.
