A creative robot and space explosions will be part of the 2017 Ars electronica Festival in Linz, Austria, on 10 September as work supported by the first art&science@ESA residency will be premiered.
Star Storm, an explosive performance inspired by stellar processes in the Universe, was created by Aoife van Linden Tol, the recipient of the first art&science@ESA residency organised by Ars Electronica in partnership with ESA.
A multimedia artist working primarily with explosive materials, Aoife spent six weeks at ESA’s technical heart in the Netherlands to research her project.
Another highlight will be kinetic artist and roboticist Sarah Petkus, who was awarded an honorary mention by the jury of the art&science@ESA residency. Sarah spent three weeks at ESA in the Netherlands working on her project, The Wandering Artist.
