Quantitative Easing Explained

I'm thinking of going to Ireland for Christmas. My sister and her family live there and some friends. I love the people and the counter . It's so sad to see Ireland being screwed in my opinion by bankers . All the common banking practices got put on the side by greed . Willingness of lending stupid amount of money to everyone. Everyone was told that real estate is the best investment . Buy 200k home and sell next year for 300K or even better 400K and sell for 600K … no way you could loose. Bankers made commissions and bonuses . People borrowed way too much , spend way too much ... but they did stimulate economy.
Now is the time to pay the piper . I said long time ago “We traded our souls in the dollar store”

Remains is an ongoing project that focuses on nature and the tradition of landscape painting. Extremely precise laser scanners are used to capture natural landscapes in high resolution, which leads to complex digital renderings on large-format archival paper. The combination of highly detailed geometric reconstructions and the imperfections of the 3D scans produce hybrid formations that are somewhere between the real and the artificial. While they recreate similar conditions to the plein-air painting of the late nineteenth century, these natural landscapes are actually observed and analyzed by extensive technological devices and repurposed through new forms of visual synthesis.

With its scenic diversity and uniqueness, the region around Upper Austria has become a wonderful place for people to live. The technological advances of the last century made it possible to understand and capture this place from a distance. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) produce many fascinating satellite images of our planet. By playing with different satellite-generated levels such as rivers, the comparison of different satellite images, and the interaction of satellite animations, this installation makes it possible to explore the region around Upper Austria interactively on a milled 3D elevation model.

ORBIT is a real time reconstruction of time lapse photographs taken on board the International Space Station by NASA’s Earth Science & Remote Sensing Unit. The structure of the film is built around a nested selection of music from albums by Phaeleh – Lost Time, Illusion of the Tale, and Somnus. The music directly influenced the choice of material used in the film. The duration of the film is approximately the length of time it takes ISS to orbit the Earth once, 92 minutes and 39 seconds. Meditate on the beauty of our planet.

Ars Electronica Home Delivery is a weekly program that includes guided tours of Ars Electronica's exhibitions, excursions to Ars Electronica Labs, visits to the Machine Learning Studio, concerts with real-time visualizations, deep space LIVE sessions, workshops with engineers and talks with artists and scientists from around the world, as well as programs for schools, universities and companies.
In order to make these streams happen, a lot of work has to be done as the light has to be porperly set up, the sound and cameras have to be adjusted, stage directions have to be given, the set has to be re-arranged, ...

People have always been particularly fascinated by glaciers. Their gargantuan masses of ice shape the mountain landscapes of our earth. In the polar regions, thick sheets of ice cover broad expanses of land. Since the end of the Little Ice Age in the second half of the 19th century, the earth’s glaciers have been on the retreat. This interactive installation makes it possible to experience the phenomenon of glacier disappearance, placing it in a local and global context. The centerpiece of the installation is a milled elevation model of the mountain region of Hohe Tauern. Using a touch interface, you can play with it in explore mode. Story mode offers a chance to delve deeper into the material.

The current age, the holocene, has lasted about 11,700 years. Only with the onset of the industrial revolution in the 18th century did the influence of humans on our environment increase significantly. The drastic changes that occurred during this relatively short time span led to the coining of the epochal term “anthropocene”: the age in which human actions became the most significant factor for biological, geological, and atmospheric changes.
In "Update: Environment and Rescources" Ars Electronica Home Delivery takes a look at in how far human actions have affected our environment and natural resources.

ObOrO is a light installation that creates unstable, random fluctuations. Illuminated balls hover in the space with no support from strings or wires—they are “guided” only by an airstream. The fluctuation of the illuminated balls is based on the Coandă effect, which describes the propensity of a jet of gas or liquid to “flow along” a curved surface rather than away from it. The fragility of the balls is charming; they continually turn and vibrate in the airstream like living organisms. Each individual mechanism consists of an LED light, an air blower, and a multiphase motor with a rotation that can be precisely managed.

A Neuron in the Spotlight
Every neuron in an artificial neural network can be seen as a mathematical function which, as a rule, connects several inputs to an output. From the input values, the neuron generates an output value that is passed on to the next layer of neurons. The higher this value is, the more “active” the neuron becomes in the network. This is why we refer to so-called activation functions. At this station you can try out how different mathematical functions in the neuron affect the output.
Colors and Weights
Is it easier to read the black or the white letters on each background color? That’s what this network is being trained on. The input values are the percentages of the colors red, green, and blue (RGB spectrum) that make up the background colors. With every input, the system learns and we can watch how it changes the weights between the neurons in order to ultimately come up with a better result.

The stunning images take us on a journey to beautiful and remote places to show us our fragile world. They also show how valuable space-based technology can be as a tool for protecting humanity and our planet. The images remind us that from space there are no divisions among people.

Despite intensive analyses, it is difficult to predict earthquakes and potential tsunamis. The Cluster of Excellence “Future Ocean” in Kiel is a consortium of Kiel University and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and consists of interdisciplinary research teams that investigate ocean change holistically. The ocean sometimes poses a threat – for example through submarine landslides that can trigger tsunamis. The data visualization on the interactive 3D globe of this science poster is based on 5,000 tsunami events dating back to 2000 BC.

In 2017, Tactical Tech and artist Joana Moll paid 136 euros to acquire a million online dating profiles from USDate, a company allegedly based in the US that sells dating profiles from all over the world. The collection they bought contained almost five million photos, names, email addresses, and data on nationality, sex, and age, as well as detailed personal information about each person who set up a profile, such as sexual orientation, interests, profession, physical characteristics, and personality traits. The purchase of these data uncovered a huge network of companies that exploits the data of users without their informed agreement and capitalizes on them.

Our earth never stands still, it is permanently shaken by earthquakes. These vibrations are measured by the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and for the fi rst time, the data are dynamically visualized in real time on an interactive science poster in the exhibition. As soon as an earthquake occurs anywhere in the world, it is displayed on the 3D globe of the interactive poster. The viewer is given a direct impression, can witness current measurements and research, and gain a deep insight into the core of our planet.
