Preface The cultural and intellectual diversity of Europe’s coun- tries, regions, and cities is a huge opportunity, since cross-border exchange and collaboration among different disciplines, lands, and cultures are precisely what make innovation flourish. The EU network launched by Ars Electronica in 2014 is dedicated to the exciting symbiosis of media art and science. Seven renowned artistic and cultural institutions as well as leading players in scientific research including CERN, ESO, ESA, and Fraunhofer MEVIS have formed a transcontinental platform in which scientific and artistic issues, methods and visions are interlinked. Artists have the chance to visit some of the world’s foremost scientific facilities and gain insights into scientific research practices; the scientists, for their part, are exposed to new perspectives, the focus of which is on the social upheavals triggered by scientific progress. The inspiring results to which such a process of exchange between art and science can lead are demonstrated by this catalog, a compendium of the European Digital Art and Science Network’s three-year history. Enjoy and be amazed! Thomas Drozda Federal Minister for Arts and Culture, Constitution and Media 4 Preface Vorwort Die kulturelle und intellektuelle Vielfalt in den Ländern, Regionen und Städten Europas ist eine enorme Chance. Gerade im grenzüberschreitenden Austausch und der Zusammenarbeit zwischen unterschiedlichen Disziplinen, Ländern und Kulturen gedeiht Neues. Das 2014 von Ars Electronica initiierte EU-Netzwerk widmet sich der spannenden Symbiose von Medienkunst und Wissenschaft. Sieben renommierte Kunst- und Kultureinrichtungen sowie führende Player im Bereich der Forschung, beispielsweise CERN, ESO, ESA oder Fraunhofer MEVIS, bilden eine europaweite Plattform. Wissenschaftliche und künstlerische Fragestellungen, Methoden und Visionen werden mit- einander verknüpft. Künstlerinnen und Künstler haben die Möglichkeit, Leucht- türme der Wissenschaft zu besuchen und Einblick in die wissenschaftliche Forschungspraxis zu bekommen. Die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissen- schaftler wiederum lernen neue Perspektiven kennen, in deren Mittelpunkt die gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen im Gefolge der Erkenntnisfortschritte stehen. Zu welch inspirierenden Ergebnissen ein solcher Austausch zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft führen kann, zeigt der nun vorliegende Katalog, der drei Jahre European Digital Art and Science Network zusammenfasst. Viel Vergnügen und Staunen beim Lesen! Thomas Drozda Bundesminister für Kunst und Kultur, Verfassung und Medien 5 6 Gerfried Stocker, Andreas J. Hirsch Encounters of Great Minds and What is Needed for Them This book is about the encounters of great minds. The Practice of Art and Science looks at the experiences and lessons from the successful work of the European Digital Art and Science Network. In order to enable collaboration of art and science on the highest possible level one could strive for, an alliance was created that brings together leading European science organizations, an array of outstanding cultural institutions in the field of digital art, and Ars Electronica as a kind of “mothership” of the work between art, technology and society. With support from the European Union this network was able to realize a series of artists’ residencies between 2015 and 2017. They took place at such spectacular and groundbreaking research facilities as the European Southern Observatory ESO in Chile, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, or in touch with the planetary missions of the European Space Agency ESA. An additional artist-in-residency program in conjunction with the European Digital Art and Science Network was established by Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS and Ars Electronica Linz. The practice of art and science has been part of the genetic code of Ars Electronica since the beginnings of the Festival in 1979, when it was founded by artist Hubert Bognermayr, scientist Herbert W. Franke, and journalist Hannes Leopoldseder. This “Festival for Art, Technology, and Society” presented art also as a catalyst, which is enabling transformation in those other areas, and thus designed its conferences and exhibitions to allow for ongoing encounters between art and science. In 1996 the growing interest in collaborations between art and science also led to the foundation of two permanent platforms of learn- ing, research, and presentation: Ars Electronica Center as a “Museum of the Future” and Ars Electronica Futurelab as a “Laboratory for Future Innovations.” Since then Ars Electronica offers a complete ecosystem for innovation, which actually replicates the entire artistic process from inspiration to experiments on to creation and does so by involving a wide range of disciplines and skills. At Ars Electronica artists, scientists, researchers, designers, and engineers have been collaborating for many years on scientific as well as artistic projects, and presented their results jointly at conferences like “Pixelspaces“ or lectured and performed side by side at the annual theme conferences. 7 Around the turn of the millennium the scope of Ars Electronica widened to Life Sciences and Bio Art, a development that was also reflected in the 1999 Festival LifeScience and the 2000 Festival NEXT SEX. Sex in the Age of its Procreative Superfluousness. With the 2005 Festival HYBRID—living in paradox, and the creation of the new Prix Ars Electronica category “Hybrid Art” in 2006/2007, the newly emerging hybrid forms of research and art received additional attention. When in 2011 Ars Electronica Festival, ORIGIN—how it all begins, was realized with CERN as a cooperation partner, this was the beginning of a lasting and far-reaching collaboration of Ars Electronica with this leading research organization. From the success of the “Prix Ars Electronica Collide@CERN Award”and the three residencies of its winners at CERN and Ars Electronica Futurelab between 2012 and 2014finally evolved the plan to open up this axis of collaboration into a network for art and science residencies on a European scale. The idea behind the European Digital Art and Science Network was to create interesting and successful cases that would stimulate even more dedication in a growing number of science organizations and also to prepare the ground for a rising acceptance within funding bodies to give money for this kind of projects in order to foster the exchange of art and science. From its very start, the project sparked a rapidly growing interest from artists as well as from institutions. As the project went along, the network of partners continued to grow. Probably the best way to value the success of an initiative like this one is the number of similar activities that come up. Also in this respect we may consider the residency program to be successful. In the meantime this increasing attention in facilitating such collaborations even extends to organizations from outside the field of art and science. Work in the European Digital Art and Science Network turned out to be a learning experience for everybody involved. At the core of this learning process lay something we may call the “art of creating successful encounters of artists and scientists.” This kind of expertise is about shaping a set of methods that help facilitate such encounters: find the right partners, prepare the ground for the exchange, and support them along the way. Nurtured by Ars Electronica’s eco- system for innovation, this included the entire “production chain” of an artistic project from idea, research, and concept to production and presentation. With the knowledge of Ars Electronica Futurelab from many years of working with artists, and the skillful practice of our cultural partners and of Ars Electronica Festival in presenting digital works of art, this made it possible for the artists to realize projects flowing from the results of their residencies and reach inter- national audiences with them.

These practices are often neglected as a historical pretext of contemporary software culture and electronic arts. Above all, they link computations to a vast speculative imagination that en- compasses art, language, technology, philosophy and religion. These speculations in turn inscribe themselves into the technology. Since even the most simple formalism requires symbols with which it can be expressed, and symbols have cultural connotations, any code is loaded with meaning. This booklet writes a small cultural history of imaginative computation, reconstructing both the obsessive persis- tence and contradictory mutations of the phantasm that symbols turn physical, and words are made flesh.

As machines enabled us to operate on a different scale, they escaped the domain of the purely functional and started to be used, and understood, by artists. The result has been the emergence of code-based art, a relatively new field in the rich tradition of arts history that today acts as an accessible new medium in the practice of visual artists, sculptors, musicians and performers. Software Art: Image is an introduction to the history, theory and practice of computer-aided artistic endeavours in the field of visual arts. This class will focus on the appearance of computers as a new tool for artists to integrate in their artistic practice, how it shaped a specific aesthetic language and what it reveals about technology and art today. We will be elaborating and discussing concepts and paradigms specific to computing platforms, such as system art, generative art, image processing and motion art.

  • Town Trail – Secession Ljubljana
    Town Trail – Secession Ljubljana ART NOUVEAU – ART RENOUVEAU 2014–2017 Walk around Art Nouveau Ljubljana, observe buildings typical of this period and answer the questions. You can start your path anywhere you like, but make sure to walk the whole path and collect as many correct answers as possible. Estimated time of the task is 90 minutes. A SECESSION LJUBLJANA The term »Secession« in Slovenia is used following the example ! of the Vienna Secession (in other European countries the terms Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Modern Style, Liberty, etc. are also used as a name for this period), because in the Art Nouveau period, the Slovenian territory was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and numerous Slovenian artists and architects studied in Vienna. The term » Ljubljana Secession « is a name for the neighbourhood between the old city centre and the main railway station. This neighbourhood was mostly rebuilt between the years of 1895 and 1910. It includes many important and well preserved architectural masterpieces. Secession Ljubljana is one of the most recognisable parts of the city and that part of our cultural heritage which put Ljubljana alongside the biggest Art Nouveau capital cities, such as Brussels, Vienna, Paris, Barcelona. On Easter, 14th of April 1895 at 11.17pm CET time, Ljubljana, with ! its 31,000 citizens and 1,400 buildings, was shaken by a very strong earthquake (its aftershocks were existing all the way to Vienna in Austria, Split in Croatia and Florence in Italy). About 10% of the buildings had to be demolished and all the rest were in need of a restoration.

  • Prešernov Trg V Ljubljani Izvor Trga Že V 17
    RAZPRAVE.9-1 23.11.2005 12:21 Page 94 RAZPRAVE IN ^LANKI Breda Miheli~, Ljubljana PRE[ERNOV TRG V LJUBLJANI Mestni trgi v zgodovini Najlepši trgi zgodovinskih mest so umetniška dela, »umet- nost kot slika ali kip ali posamezna arhitektura. Enkratni odnos med odprtim prostorom trga, stavbami, ki ga obdajajo, in nebom ustvarja čustveno doživetje, ki ga lahko primerjamo z vsakim drugim umetni- škim delom«1. Trg je vizualno najbolj obvladljiv mestni prostor, določen s svojimi absolutnimi dimenzijami, razmerjem med dolžino in širino, načinom in smerjo vstopajočih ulic, fasadnim plaščem, oblikami in viši- nami okoliških zgradb ter lego spomenikov in fontan. Tako kot za ulico velja, da je ulica le, če so stavbe ob njej po- stavljene tako, da delujejo kot površine,2 tudi za trge velja, da so trgi le, kadar delujejo kot prostorsko zaprte celote, ki jih obdajajo stavbe, postav- ljene druga ob drugo, tako da delujejo kot površine, in ne kot mase3. Zgodovinsko je vsak urbanistični koncept narekoval tudi do- ločene arhitekturne tipe in oblike. Toda mesto se je izgrajevalo postopo- ma, pogosto več stoletij ali pa celo tisočletje, medtem ko je bila arhitektu- ra navadno zgrajena kot celota po nekem načrtu, v katerem so odnosi med arhitekturnimi členi jasno izraženi in bolj ali manj nespremenljivi. Mesto kot urbanistični koncept se je torej ohranilo tudi potem, ko se je arhitektura zamenjala. To pomeni, da v določenem zgodovinskem obdob- ju urbanistični koncepti niso bili več skladni z arhitekturo. Tako so npr. Firence, zibelka renesanse, v svoji osnovi srednjeveške, Rim, ki ga imamo za baročno mesto, v svoji urbanistični zasnovi kaže antično poreklo, na- zadnje pa ima tudi baročna Ljubljana srednjeveško urbanistično zasnovo.

  • Libby Heaney, Quantum Computing and Complexity in Art 1 Leonardo Just Accepted MS
    Leonardo Just Accepted MS. https://doi.org/10.1162/LEON_a_01572 © 2017 ISAST Quantum Computing and Complexity in Art Libby Heaney (artist, PhD quantum physicist, tutor on Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art). Royal College of Art, Kensington Gore, London, SW7 2EU, UK. Email: [email protected] © ISAST Manuscript received 9 August 2016. ABSTRACT: The author draws on her research experience in quantum computing to discuss the conception and form of an interactive installation CLOUD. CLOUD explores complexity in the post-digital by referencing the principles of quantum superposition, quantum entanglement and quantum measurement. Understanding complexity is the most critical issue of our times. So often, intricately detailed concepts or narratives are reduced to simple natural versus artificial, or good versus evil tales and propagated by the (social) media. For instance, Adam Curtis explores the complexity in popular reductive narratives through his films Bitterlake [1] and Hypernormalization [2] and George Marshall explores narratives around climate change in his book Don’t Even Think About It [3]. For all cultural practitioners it is important to research and experiment with new forms and techniques enabling people to understand, experience and interact with complexity on their own terms. I believe concepts from quantum computing will bring new and wider techniques into our toolbox for articulating complexity and I will use my post-digital installation CLOUD to unpack these issues throughout this paper. Complexity is a generic feature of large systems [4] and thus occurs across disciplines from biology to finance. As such its definition is notoriously difficult to pin down – for instance one may talk about computational complexity (the difficultly of solving certain computational problems [5]) or the complexity of an artwork or jazz composition (as the depth to the piece [6]).
