Magic Moments - net.culture.space

Yesterday I was at a wonderful exhibition opening at the net.culture.space which is a branch of the well known Ars Electronica Center.

The exhibition is called "Magic Moments" and aims to break the barriers between the real and the digital world. At beginning they were quoting Arthur C. Clarke which really brings it to the point: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

There was a lot of fantastic stuff, to see more go to flickr or http://www.netculturespace.at/ausstellungen/ausblick.

Especially "Godmode" by Tim Knapen was very fascinating. He hacked a copier so if you scanned drawn characters they started to move and animate along the ceiling. The wondeful thing was that it needed no explanation, it just worked. Draw it, press the "copy-Button" and watch your drawing live!
