Ars Electronica 2001 - Art as a Test-Drive of the Future .................................................. >From its very inception, Ars Electronica has defined art as an interface, a motivating force and a catalyst of social transformation, and dedicated itself to the goal of enabling art in its full intensity and dynamism to have an impact. What this necessitates in the context of TAKEOVER is expanding the festival to include forms of presenting working processes as well as production situations in which teamwork and concept-oriented communication projects occupy the spotlight. ................................................... 1.1. Projects ................................................... September 1-6, 2001, 10:30 AM - 7:00 PM, Brucknerhaus Fish&Chips SymbioticA Research Group/AUS A semi-living artist, a biological/cybernetic installation as the aim of a research project that is simultaneously a work of art and science, and brings together designers, biologists, artists, and computer specialists into what is not your everyday team. Fish&Chips presents the current state of development of this undertaking, and addresses aspects of and conflicts inherent in art understood as research. SymbioticA - The Art & Science Collaborative Laboratory, Department of Anatomy & Human Biology, University of Western Australia. Green - oder wie ein Licht die Welt verdreht Reinhard Nestelbacher, DNA-Consult/A Science has its own rules and values. A new species of artificial organisms and creatures has come about as what amounts to a by-product of molecular biological research: green-glowing mice, fish, plants and bacteria as harbingers of a new dimension of design and the aftermath of transgressed boundaries. Green takes an everyday scientific phenomenon and exports it beyond the confines of the lab. Rückprojektion - Der Gummibär mit Sonnenbrand im Internet ESCAPE*spHERE/A An installation as a walk-through negative impression of an object that exists solely as a virtual process. The experience of space is produced and shaped in tandem by the persons actually present at the installation venue together with those accessing it via the Internet. September 1-6, 2001, 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM, WIFI Oberösterreich unitM Ars Electronica FutureLab/A An Art Project for the new WIFI Upper Austria Building.
