gallery Bildetage
Barichgasse 6, 1030 Vienna

12.5. – 29. 6. 2012, in the gallery window / im Schaufenster

Vielerorts werden die Verhaltensmuster von Fischen
computergestützt analysiert, um die Wasserqualität eines
Flusses in “Echtzeit” überprüfen zu können. Auch die
Wasserqualität der Donau wird von der Stadt Wien auf
diese Weise gemessen.

Das Kunst- & Wissenschaftsprojekt fishbag verwendet
diese Messwerte um damit live eine künstlerische Visualisierung
in einer Medienskulptur zu steuern. Durch diese
Transformation der Messwerte werden Veränderungen in der
Wasserqualität sichtbar reflektiert.

The opening in Vienna:

The water quality of the danube directs live an artistic animation in an augmented space

I will present some aspects of my art- and science project fleabag on the 10th IEEE international Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality, ISMAR 2011, in Basel, Switzerland, 26.10 – 29.10.2011, in the Arts, Media and Humanities programme.

Abstract of the presentation:

“Water in Augmented Space”

Water is both space and media at one and the same time. However, using only our human senses, we can hardly read the information that it carries. Augmenting this reality with the use of computer vision integrated into a biomonitoring system, we are able to read the water quality, at least as data values, in real time.

In the art and science project fleabag, the data values relating to water quality of a river will be analysed using this AR technology, and then transformed artistically to expand the human perceptual range through a sensually comprehensible, visual and physical presence on the river side, “augmenting space“ as Lev Manovich once defined this term.

will be published by IEEE

On 14.10 and 15.10.2011 at Architekturzentrum Wien, Vienna, Austria

Organised by Richard Buckminster Fuller Institut Austria
Österreichischen Friedrich und Lillian Kiesler-Privatstiftung
Architekturzentrum Wien

I am glad to present on saturday the 15.10. at the “Lightning Talks” how Buckminster Fuller´s engineer work and his thinking has influenced some of my artwork, and I hope to inspire you with it for the following “workshop”.

The video work “visit” will be shown at the group exhibition “Knowing you at first sight“/ “Prepoznajem te na prvi pogled” at BNP, Bosnian National Theatre Zenica as part of the 16th cultural festival of the city Zenica in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Group exhibition with Mejra Mujicic, Eva Maria Radlherr, Corinne Studer
curated by MMag Anamarija Batista

Opening: 30.3.2011 at the BNP Bosnian National Theatre Zenica

A report about the art & science project fleabag (for media facade), Radio Ö1 Digital Leben, programme: “Next Ideas – Projekte für die Welt von morgen” (german).

I was invited to the “AquaLife 2010″ seminar at the Kiel Innovation and Technology Centre (KITZ) to hold a lecture about “water quality as a means for artistic intervention in a public space” (see art & science project fleabag (for media facade). I joined there a nice group of scientists who work on exciting researches in the field of water: The presentations covered the use of early warning systems, water security, risk management and biomonitoring instruments in Germany, the Netherlands and around the world. Take a look – and see, for example, why you should not eat the “fish’n'chips” from the G. Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries

Just some of the nice game results from exhibition visitors who played the SecondSquat Game!

Finding their way through the spatial game SecondSquat, the players left movement tracks, which at the same time shaped a new architecture. This generative result architecture was then automatically pasted into SecondSquat Utopia and placed onto a free “land piece”.

Game Result…

SecondSquat
Game Art, interactive installation, 2009
by Corinne Studer and her avatar Fuzzy Janus

SecondSquat is an interactive installation reflecting virtual space planing and movement possibilities within a three dimensional online world like “Second Life”.

SecondSquat consists of a Interactive Game and a Spatial Utopia, which was realised within Second Life. For more information see WORKS.

Here are some impressions from the “Q202 Atelierrundgang”. An open house event in Vienna. Many studios open their doors for 3 days for everyone who is interested. It was wonderful to meet all the curious people, have some nice talk and laughing.
