Element zero – starting from zero, the choice is yours. This installation provides the user an entirely new-found planet, which can be altered as pleased by a given control panel, as it is visible in the picture. Since the sliders and buttons not only change vegetation and population, but sound also causes weather differences, it conveys a feeling of power to the user – full power to change an entire planet and having enough control over it, making the user feel God-like. Day and night time can be changed, just like easily eradicating and annihilating the population, which shows the entirety of power a single individual can have.

This also connects to the message behind this installation, showing the influence a single individual can have on our Earth, as well. Element zero gives the user the choice to create a balanced ecosystem, or to destroy the planet, just as they please. And this mindset will be carried over to the real-life example. Our planet, Earth.

Black out is an installation that draws attention to the finity of light and light sources. The users have to balance the light levels on their planets (visualised by an inifinity mirror) by taking light from stars (displayed as a projection), they see the consequences of what they do.

The Glitch_

Group: Observe

Group Members: Fredrika Astrom, Alan Deuvletian, Wojciech Jarosinski, John Kim, Kevin van de Wetering, Simona Vasiljeva, Boris Yordanov
The Glitch_ is an interactive art installation that uses the power of projection mapping to animate a low polygon sphere, making it come to life in front of the visitors’ eyes. The installation plays off of the theme: What if the universe is a simulation? What if something went wrong? Through the use of audiovisual effects, it depicts the simulation (our reality as we know it) and how the press of a key can lead to it crashing down.
