Congratulations to Christoph Wachter and Mathias Jud! With their project qaul.net they have won this years [the next idea] voestalpine Art and Technology Grant! You can find a detailed description of the project here.

We are already looking forward to the start of this years Prix Ars Electronica jury meetings. For all of you who are interested in the [the next idea] voestalpine Art and Technology Grant, here are the CVs of [the next idea] jury members.

Incorporated in our clothes, digital technology can influence human communictaion maybe in the most direct way. In her project “intraInter socialite” Kristin Stransky Mallinger shows how such an integration could look like.

We have extended the deadline of the [the next idea] voestalpine Art and Technology Grant until the 14th of March! So there are two more weeks to submit your ideas, concepts and prototypes!

We have to deal with our history and there is sometimes no way out! And althoug that seems to be very true for architecture, the Re-Skin project shows a way how it is possible to transfrom buildings in an eays and effective way.

For all of you who have not submitted their ideas, prototypes or concepts yet. There are still two more weeks to do so!

What to do when there is no internet conncetion and no standard euqipment availiable to get one? Build a kite!

It does not always has to be a digitial technology….. A lot of times easy looking analog solutions can make a big diffrence, as this briquette presse developed by the Legacy Foundation shows.

For all of you who have some ideas and concepts in mind, or a prototype that needs further developement, we are looking forward to get your submissions!
