“ZeitRaum” (TimeSpace) is an interactive art installation the Ars Electronica
Futurelab designed for the new terminal at Vienna International Airport. It
creates real-time interpretations of arriving and departing flights. “ZeitRaum”consists of a series of stations that accompany departing passengers on their
way to their gates. The airport authority will also be using the installation
for half of the available time as an ad medium.
At the core
of this work is an imaginary space, one at the interface of all the world’s
airports. Passengers enter it when they pass through a security checkpoint
prior to takeoff, and leave it after touching down at their final destination.
This space’s boundaries are constantly shifting in accordance with current air
traffic.
The Ars Electronica Futurelab is one of the four divisions
of Ars Electronica Linz GmbH. The media art laboratory’s staff includes experts
in a wide array of fields. Its style of work is characterized above all by an
interdisciplinary approach and international networking. The Futurelab’s broad
spectrum of activities includes conceiving and executing exhibition projects,
developing artistic installations, and conducting R&D joint ventures with
partners in academia and the private sector.
