The physical sensation or translation of digital data of all kinds, the
collection of which
rises exponentially in today's society, focuses primarily on the
two-dimensional methods
of visual representation in the form of numerical data, images, graphs or
other
visualisations (the term already refers strictly to visual representation)
. In this situation
the screen is seen as the standard output device. How can we translate data
differently
and represent it? Can one output device (such as a screen) leave the actual
space or
perhaps even be controlled through other channels of our perception? In the
exhibition
we will deal with the physical perception of the digital. The presentation
of data is limited
to auditory and visual media, the digital is created mostly in combination
with only a
two-dimensional and thus limited "(Ab) image" (german Abbild). In this
exhibition - we
would like to open and extend the reception dimension of digital and
virtual content.
For the calculation we focus first on the Visual: The screen serves as the
output medium,
limited to a one-dimensional representation of space, that is a
foreshortening of the space
through subtracting the Z-axis. The result simulates the recipient,
therefore, only one
(virtual) space on a two dimensional surface, but it does not simulate it
exactly. This
technique has been applied in perspective drawing, and was later mechanised
through a
photo/film camera. The experiments of the Expanded Cinema movement of the
early 60’s
already tried to break this perception of virtuality. They generated
three-dimensional
images by projecting on smoke or spatial structures such as domes. The goal
was to leave
the flat surface of the screen and move the virtual space into the
perceptual field - without
the limitations of a frame, creating a window into the virtual.
Cave systems that developed in the early 90s, are direct descendants of
these
considerations. With advanced technology it was possible, to produce a
spatial image for
every point of view of an observer in a room (the Cave)- particularly by
generating purely
digital virtual spaces (where the polling takes place instantaneously and
no linearity in
texts or film exist, see Manovich) - . The generated space is seen as a
"1:1 copy" of that
which people perceive with the eye. Bourne of this tradition and the
related focus on the
visual stimulus as the strongest sense, the canvas was taken over by the
computer screen
and provides the primary access to digital data. Data, however, in its pure
form is nothing
and everything at once - they are after Manovich freely changeable and
transferable in all
forms (mapping).
Our question concerns itself with the issue of media representation of
data. This should
involve all the senses, but focus not primarily on one sense. "How does
data smell or taste?",
"How can we feel data?" and "What are the possible means of accessing data
beyond this?"
Peter Weibel spoke in this context of a shift away from Simulation of
sensations toward a
synthesizing of sensations (Presentation ISEA2010). Weibel gives the
example of a screen
that does not reflect colors or brightnesses, but converts the brightness
values into stimuli.
This screen will not be considered, but is on the tongue of the viewer and
allows them to
"see with their tongue." The potential of mapping is therefore
demonstrated: The technical
possibilities allow a simulation of other physical stimuli. In this
exhibition we want to deal
with with issues of perception and the digital possibilities of expanding
the traditional
access to data.

*About Artkillart*
Since 2007, Artkillart invites artists to explore the technical and
material limits of physical
media. Through the production and distribution of works, at the
intersection of digital art
and sound art, the label adopts a radical editorial approach, highlighting
the process in an
absolute sense, where a dialogue emerges between the digital and the analog.
