50 years after the Apollo 11 lunar landing, we are seeing another strong push for space exploration: from new and renewed space programs in developed and developing countries to innovative technologies and commercial services from private industry. Along the way, cultural production for outer space becomes crucial for humanity as we expand beyond the earthbound. In the past, the desire for exploration and expansion had a profound impact on how we imagined planetary futures. What shall we imagine now? In this exhibition, six projects from the Space Exploration Initiative of MIT Media Lab are asking the same question and bringing possibilities to the (im)possible space: All the projects were successfully deployed and performed in a zero-gravity parabolic flight last year. They are hopes beyond solutions, imaginations, more than facts. Our effort addresses outer space as a critical territory that must be inhabited—imaginatively, artistically, scientifically and collaboratively.

The third recipient of the residency staged under the auspices of the Art & Science Network is the artists’ collective Quadrature (Jan Bernstein, Juliane Götz and Sebastian Neitsch, all DE). In 2016, they were selected from among the 322 applicants from 53 countries and spent their residency at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile and at the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Austria. Picture is showing their visit to the headquarter of ESO in Garching, Germany.

*A-MINT* is a metaphor of a sustainable future, where man and machines work together in perfect symbiosis to cross a frontier that man alone could not dare. *A-MINT* is a new kind of adaptive Artificial Music Intelligence, the first one of its kind capable to crack the improvisation code of any musician in real time and able to improvise with him. Creating music and video along the execution, without any preset pattern, pitch or bpm. A new organic and lively form of contemporary electronic music. The futuristic real-time electronic orchestrations, enhanced by the generative videoprojections, rewrite the rules of live electronic music, and plunge the audience into a unique experience, always different because of the impulses and interpretations of the Artificial Music Intelligence A-Mint, a trip in unknown and never explored before territories and boundaries, made of new sounds,technology, images, energy , sweat, heart and soul.

The tar sand industry is a massive ever-expanding project that lurks in the shadow of the Canadian consciousness. In an attempt to demystify the process of tar sand processing, this time-based sculpture makes use of items from home to attempt and extract oil from homemade tar sand through a steam injection process.

Working at the intersection between Space, Technology and Behavior, the initiative was developed by The Alexandra Institute (DK), BLOXHUB (DK) and Ars Electronica (AT). Together, the partners wished to join forces in gathering and building new knowledge that can help companies, creatives and researchers achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 11; to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
In 2019, we received 122 submissions from 34 different countries, and the jury (see: prix.bloxhub.org/the-jury) chose 2 winners and gave 8 projects honorary mentions.

White Water/White Noise
The concept for this work stemmed from the mythical notion that when putting your ear in front of the opening of a sea shell, one can hear the “watery” home from which it came. I found this idea poetic on various levels and the process of amplifying this sound became a catalyst for the idea of this audio sculpture. The experiment is an intermittent relationship of oscillating open/closed-circuit audio waves that feedback when the megaphone passes in front of the sea shell.

The rapprochement, as it were, of art and science, the artistic exploration of new applications, is a key factor in the increasingly social dimension of new technologies in order to comprehend how reciprocal human-machine relationships and interactions among individuals and globally networked systems can not only be better understood but, above all, better designed.

Quadrature’s installation manifests the meaning of a Sisyphean task. The sole purpose of the machine is to maintain two large stones on a steel plate in perfect equilibrium. An endless succession of feedback effects and adjustments is necessary to prevent the incessantly threatening, imminent loss of balance.

Lopsided Seesaw (The Ratio of Combustion to Transpiration)
Can a houseplant absorb CO2 at the same rate a burning candle emits CO2? If not, how much plant material is needed to keep up with the rate of combustion? A mobile will demonstrate the ratio of combustion to transpiration during the process of photosynthesis.

Liminous is a blending of the words “liminal” and “luminous.” The word liminal is defined as “of, or relating to, a transitional process,” or “occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold.” The word luminous is defined as “full of light; bright or shining, especially in the dark.” Using iconic analog forms, sculptural lenses and the moving image, the Liminous series explores, expands upon, and blurs the boundaries of cinema, time, light, past, and future.

The Nature of Shadows
The Nature of Shadows explores the relationship between art, science and cosmological history. Its form is based on an orrery: an 18th century mechanical model of the solar system which displays the relative positions and motion of the planets around the sun. The object at the center of an orrery demonstrates the way in which the sun lends light and life to the planets. This work addresses the nature of perception; the centrality of mediated vision, science, technology, myth and unquenchable curiosity in mankinds pursuit of understanding himself, the universe and his place within it.

Water is the medium that carries chemical and biological information. It is fundamental for the survival and evolution of life. From walking in the rain to working in a laboratory – water is ever present. It is also safe for humans to touch and consume. Our goal is to use this natural medium, to represent data through calm, ubiquitous computing interfaces that leverage the user’s intuitive knowledge of the world. Hence, we have created the Programmable Droplets system that can use droplets in our environment and program them for information manipulation and human interaction. To illustrate how droplets in our living environment can become interactive, we have created a device that can be integrated into various everyday objects, to function as information display, to help make art, enable play and display messages. The Programmable Droplets system utilizes the technique of “electrowetting on dielectric” (EWOD). This technique enables a set of primitive operations, such as precisely translating, morphing, merging, and splitting multiple droplets simultaneously. While these techniques have been previously applied to biological automation by other researchers and our own group, we have now started applying these techniques to create water-based computer interface

The MSOE challenge for March, 2009, honours the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin. I have depicted Darwin as a young man, during his famous voyage on the HMS Beagle and its stay in the Galapagos Islands. The giant tortoises which thrived on the islands, and the variations in species from island to island was instrumental to his thinking, when he later wrote "On the origin of species" which divulged his understanding of biological evolution.
I like the irreverent image of Darwin on the stately, ancient tortoises, but don't try this at home kids! Tortoises are not for surfing.
