NET CULTURE LAB, VIENNA, AUSTRIA
NET CULTURE LAB, DORNBIRN, AUSTRIA

We are happy to announce that the net culture labs which are a cooparation between Telekom Austria and OS-Alliance opened this week. Stefan is responsible for the design part in the team of the OS-Alliance. Especially he designed the net culture rhizome, which reflects the digital culture in the real space. We will post more about that soon. Further Tim and Stefan reached in one of the first projects which is named “Playground” and deals with hacked soft toys and devices to explore sensor based inferfaces. We work with arduino and Max/MSP. We’ll also open soon a category for that project in our blog to show a bit around what we are doing.

We are currently working on a collaborative graphical toolkit which enables the members of the digital community to build their analogue representation in the “real” world. Based on the RGB colour-system which stands for digitality, the participents will build ther own organic network structure (rhizome) following a few simple rules. This artwork is the headstone for the identity of the netculture.labs which will be set up in Vienna (MQ) and Dornbirn. The rhizome dissolves the static 3-dimensional structure of analogue space which is oposed to the ever-changing n-dimensional digital structures.

First impression from the playground in the studio.

Interaction design for animals: While the hamster is running (in) his wheel, he is able to control the video on the screen in front of the cage. By spinning the wheel a light barrier which is connected to an arduino-board is hit and a signal sent to Pure Data which runs via USB connection on my Powerbook. There the video is processed and the manipulated video is sent to the TV screen. Still work in progress … more to come!

Cave Navigator

Der Cave Navigator ist eine Single-User-Application mit Infrarot Technologie. Ein Experiment im Feld der Wahrnehmung. Die Orientierung mittels dieser Installation funktioniert ähnlich wie die einer Fledermaus und dient als Referenz zu den Höhlentieren, welche sich in der Dunkelheit der Höhle fortbewegen.

Reactive thermochromic ink installation

A project by Stefan Kainbacher, Jeldrik Schmuch and Jona Hoier.

Heat is a dynamic painting which plays with the fact, that fire is the most dangerous enemy to every painting. Focusing on that the audience is invited to burn the frame with a lighter. The initial flame triggers the transformation of the content by distributing heat all over the canvas.
