Within the opening of the European Culture Capitol City Linz - 2009, the new Ars Electronica Center reopened as a one-of-a-kind facility. Its uniqueness is betokened by its external form. This bold architectural statement is an instant highlight within the Linz cityscape’s ensemble, yet it still sets itself apart at first—none of its edges run parallel, everything appears skewed, elements simultaneously pulling apart and merging together. Within the new exhibition, the SEE-KID project is represented with a unique installation about video-based eye movement measurement and 3D simulation and visualization of the eye. The title of the new exhibition is “New Views of Humankind” and deals with images of the human body, how they materialize, and how we interpret them. In going about this, art and science are deployed in tandem as two methods that often seem dissimilar to us but are related in many ways. After all, the aim of both has always been to understand and explain the world.
Four labs constitute the exhibition’s core: BrainLab, BioLab, RoboLab and FabLab. Via interaction and hands-on experience, visitors get an introduction to the mental and visual worlds of the modern Life Sciences.
