How to map data onto a canvas, a plant or fabric? How to process human interaction to a machine? What does the machine feel while processing data? Does a film change its meaning when it is translated to ASCII art? Does a poem change its meaning when it is knitted through different data channels? Does a digital being become nervous when its in the center of attention?

This exhibition involves the visitor into generative processes, letting them observe how translating one media to another changes a work of art and influences its final state. It involves a combination of interactive media, interfaces for humans and for machines, and shows a variety of experimental approaches towards generative algorithms. Visitors are invited to be part of the process, observe, exchange and evolve the exhibition over time.

The participating artists are students at the Master's Program, 'Interface Cultures', at the University of Art and Design in Linz/Upper Austria, which is a partner of Ars Electronica. Coming from different backgrounds and parts of the world they are unified by their interest in interdisciplinary research, technical know-how and the urge to find new ways of creating.
