'HOPE' - ARS ELECTRONICA FESTIVAL 2024

04.-08.09.2024

My installation got selected for the campus exhibition - LYNKEUS DREAM - which is part of the Ars Electronica Festival. For 5 days, it was presented alongside other works by students from the Timebased and Interactive Media Arts department at the University of Art and Design Linz, which is one of the festival's official locations. 

"It was a great honor and a real full circle moment, because we visited the Ars Electronica Festival at the very beginning of our 1st semester at AKI. And now to come back here as exhibiting artist is absolutely amazing."

It’s a work about experiencing the feelings between two women who are in love with each other, part of a field of art that can be called 'queer joy'. At the beginning of the 3rd semester I didn’t expect to create something this intimate, but I love that I did it, and I love how it turned out. 

I built three different surfaces to project a video on, consisting of several clips which had been heavily altered by using Touch Designer.

The audience should be able to not just watch, but touch and feel the video. That's why I offered them to gently touch the surfaces, breaking with the common rule that exhibited artworks are not allowed to be touched. I also served ginger tea with honey, to really stimulate all senses. 

For the sound, an AI-generated female voice reads a poem that was written by me and addressed to my beloved partner, additionally accompanied bymusic from Levianth & Acejax - Real Love.
