"Über visuelle Irritationen und die Ästhetik des Fehlerhaften in der Kunst"
Im Bereich der visuellen Medien versteht man unter "Bildstörung" versehentlich mitkommunizierte Informationen\, die unerwünschte Veränderungen im übertragenen Signal verursachen\. In der Ausstellung in Kooperation mit NÖDOK \| ON TOUR greifen Kunstschaffende optische Effekte und Täuschungen gezielt auf und entwickeln sie in ihren Arbeiten weiter\. In einer zufälligen Bildstörung oder Sinnestäuschung ist mitunter das zu beobachten\, was sonst unsichtbar bleibt\.
Ausstellende Künstler:innen
Natascha Auenhammer, Christian Bazant-Hegemark, Peter Baldinger, Bettina Beranek, Robert Davis, Walter Ebenhofer, Wolfgang Grinschgl, Caroline Heider, Harding Meyer, Gabi Mitterer, Georg Pummer, Fritz Simak, Jürgen Wagner, Robert Zahornicky

"On visual distortions and the aesthetics of imperfection in art"
In the field of visual media\, the term "image interference" refers to information inadvertently transmitted that causes unwanted changes in the transmitted signal\. In the exhibition\, organised in collaboration with NÖDOK \| ON TOUR\, artists deliberately engage with optical effects and illusions and develop them further in their works\. It is sometimes in a random visual glitch or optical illusion that we can observe what otherwise remains invisible\.

Everyone is welcome to join our large weekly events, test their skills and have some fun together! However, ***this event is for the people that want to push their skill forward and would like to play during the week as well.***
The host will reserve courts in advance, that means please only register if you really plan to come (or cancel at least 24 hours before the event starts). The fee for this event is 12€:

We are meeting at about 18.55 pm near the reception by the lounge area (next to the courts). Come a bit earlier so you have time to change into workout/sports clothes. The locker rooms are free to use, but for the men lockers you need a padlock - or you can also take your bag of clothes upstairs to the courts if you do not have a padlock. Also, bring clean indoor sports shoes, your racket and a water bottle with you.

Boost Your Google & AI Visibility
This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose - both on Google and in AI-driven search.
Save your spot: [https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow](https://www.self-employed.at/event-details-registration/boost-your-google-ai-visibility-practical-visibility-steps-you-can-implement-tomorrow)
About the event
Google is no longer the only place people search for solutions. Today, your potential customers are also asking tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI systems for recommendations.
The question is:
Will your business show up when they are looking?
This practical webinar is designed for self-employed professionals and small business owners in Austria who want to become easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to choose — both on Google and in AI-driven search.
You will leave with clear, realistic actions you can start implementing the next day.
What this webinar is about:
Many businesses want quick visibility.
They ask:
“How do I get to number one on Google?”
“How do I appear in ChatGPT?”
“How do I make my content perform better?”
These are valid questions, but they often focus on speed instead of substance.
The businesses that win long term are not the ones chasing shortcuts. They are the ones that clearly understand their audience, build trust consistently, and position themselves in the places where buying decisions are made.
This webinar will show you how to start doing exactly that.
In this session, you will learn:
How Google and AI search are changing the way people discover businesses
Why being visible is no longer just about rankings, but also about trust and authority
What makes a business more likely to be found, understood, and recommended online
How to identify the search terms, questions, and topics your audience actually cares about
How to improve your website content so it speaks to both people and search systems
What practical steps you can take tomorrow to strengthen your online visibility
How to think long term instead of chasing short-term tactics
Who this is for:
This webinar is for you if you are:
A freelancer, consultant, coach, service provider, or small business owner
Trying to attract more consistent inquiries through your website
Interested in SEO, Google visibility, and AI search, but unsure where to start
Tired of random marketing tips
You do not need advanced technical knowledge. The session is practical, accessible, and focused on actions you can realistically implement.
Why this matters now:
Search behavior is changing.
People still use Google, but they are also using AI tools to compare options, understand services, and make buying decisions.
That means your business needs more than a few keywords on a website.
You need clarity.
You need content that answers real customer questions.
You need trust signals.
You need a presence that helps both humans and search systems understand who you are, what you do, and why you are relevant.
This is especially important for self-employed professionals, because trust is often the deciding factor before someone reaches out.
About the speaker:
The webinar is led by [Rilwan Mogaji ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rilwan-mogaji-digital/)\- the co\-founder of [Mogaji Digital Communications](https://seo-agenturwien.at/en/), an SEO agency based in Vienna.
For more than five years, he has helped companies become more visible through Google and, increasingly, through AI systems like ChatGPT — with the goal of generating new customers consistently and predictably.
His work has been featured in outlets such as MeinBezirk, Wiener Wirtschaftszeitung, Radio Afrika, and Leadersnet. He also publishes industry-related articles on platforms such as [unternehmer.de](http://unternehmer.de/) and [designenlassen.de](http://designenlassen.de/).
His mission is to help companies move away from short-term marketing tricks and toward long-term positioning built on clarity, consistency, trust, and a genuine understanding of their audience.
You will walk away with:
A clearer understanding of how Google and AI visibility work
A practical checklist of improvements you can make to your online presence
Ideas for content that directly answers your audience’s real questions
A better understanding of how to build trust through your website and digital presence
A long-term mindset for attracting more relevant customers online

**Every Sunday (except during our Tango Immersion Weekends)**, we explore the essentials of Tango Argentino focusing not only on what to do, but on how and why we move the way we do in this dance.
✨ **No previous experience required**, just curiosity to work with essential principles that allow you to understand the Tango Argentino language sooner, and adapt easier to real social dance situations.
**✨ Experienced dancers refine technique and efficiency of their movements**
✨ **You can come with or without a dance partner**, and learn the role(s) of your choice (Jessica encourages to learn both).
✨ **Each class is followed by our Focused Práctica**, a guided practice gathering for all levels, where you can take time to socialize and integrate what you learned, ask questions, receive feedback, and practice in a relaxed and supportive environment.
**Sundays** (except during [Tango Immersion Weekends](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion))

**Teaching approach**
Spoiler alert: This is not about copying and memorizing steps.
Jessica's teaching focus is on body awareness, connection, and developing good habits from the start — so what you learn works in real social dance situations and truly supports your dance in the long term.

Usui-Reiki Healing Circle (donation-based)✨

**Duration**: 45 minutes of Reiki (60 minutes in total, 15:30 - 16:30)

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups! Fill out the form if you are interested in presenting to the Python Community.
