Scenario description
Within large European R&D projects a lot of the research is executed along pre-planned lines. However, exploration of the boundaries and possibilities of the research is also vital: this is the role of the art-scenario within SHARESPACE. Whereas the health and the sport scenario are top-down use-cases focused on the exploitation of SHARESPACE technology, the art scenario is a bottom-up use-case focused on experimentation and exploration.
The art scenario is coordinated by the Ars Electronica Futurelab in Linz, Austria. Located at the Ars Electronica Center in Linz is the Deep Space 8K. This specific space allows for immersive extended reality experiences due to high quality 16×9 meters stereoscopic 8K wall and floor projections. Artworks shown in Deep Space 8K can be made interactive by its laser tracking system pharus, which enables the system to determine the 2D position of objects on the floor. During the project, artworks utilizing SHARESPACE technology and concepts have been developed internally be Ars Electronica Futurelab researchers and by external artist teams recruited through two Open Calls for Artists. All artworks have been specifically developed for Deep Space 8K and presented at the Ars Electronica Festival 2024 and 2025.
