RRD Tool by Goesta Smekal

RRDTool „Ein Bild sagt mehr als 1000 Zahlen“. RRDTool steckt in vielen Anwendungen zur Überwachung und statistischen Auswertung

Elettra by Rinaldo Bonazzo

An idea, an Open Source platform, an hub for connect Sensor ... Elettra how we interpret IOT

OpenLandLAB by Leopold Zyka

OpenLandLAB http://www.openlandlab.org is a regional experimental space for creatives, social and technologic innovators, artists, makers, DIY-activists and„catalysts of the future“ on the smart country side, but in an international network of the open source culture. Currently we are bootstrapping permaculture and building prototypes for aeroponics. In cooperation with OSDomotics we work on sensoric environments and an open source weatherstation. In Summer we plan workshops building microhouses.
We want to push open source hardware development like http://opensourceecology.org/ but with a more european spirt building a dreamicon valley for startups.
Visions are building a place like PIER9 http://www.autodesk.com/artist-in-residence/home with state of the art open source utilities for the public and an Open Village Visions festival 2016.

THIRD LIFE PROJECT by Otto Krause & Milan Loviška
High Performance Computing meets Performance Art

In the “Third Life Project”, that has been in development since 2014 and will be concluded with public presentations at WUK Performing Arts in Vienna in October 2015, the performance artists Otto Krause and Milan Loviška together with an international team of experts exploit technology and employ artistic vision to blur the lines between human beings and machines and between reality and imagination. They explore up-to-date possibilities of development of an avatar performance for a real life audience, which operates within mixed realities (real and “second life”) and coessentially aspires to open the door to the “third life”, where virtuality can transgress directly into reality. With the use of a “smart stage” they address the new performative possibilities of virtual environments that aren’t limited or constrained by the local space that the physical bodies inhabit. This unique interface of a simulated virtual world, Internet of Things and novel tracking technologies allow virtual characters to perform activities in the real world, whereas activities of performers in the real world enable changes in the virtual world. The notion of third life is manifested here not only in the synchronous interconnection of the virtual and the real but also in their divergence alike, and brings up for question and re-examination what a body is, how a body operates and whether that body is alive or dead, real or virtual. In the presentations at WUK the team will share the knowledge that has been ‘produced’ through the exchange and give the spectators an insight in how the artists and also the experts work.

PRIA / Hedgehog

by Wilfried Lepuschitz & Christoph Krofitsch

PRIA) is a non-profit association with the aim to promote scientific and technical excellence in schools using robotics. In this talk we present the educational robotics controller Hedgehog. Use your mobile device to program it and control self-built robots. Hedgehog is for everyone: simple for beginners and powerful for pros!
