eMuu by Dr. Christopher Bartneck (Germany)
the buttons indicate icecream made of chocolate, lemon or garlic and if pushed, then the robot face shows an emotional response indicated by moving the "eyebrows", "mouth" or tilt of the head. I was surprised at how effective this was.

DeGenerator 2.0I could not see the point of this projection (above right). The documentation said that if you pressed words, it would act like a language-virus on them, but I could barely see anything and didn't see any response. Most people used the seats for socializing, so I guess it wasn't working.

at the Strp festival for art and technology, 25 March 2006
I'd seen this work at the 2005 Graduation exhibition for Beeld + Geluid (Image and Sound) at The Hague
where it looked stunning. Here it was hard to see the subtle changes.

The video is a record of a 44 minute train view from Almere to Lelystad to which he has applied an algorithm which reduces the scale of the x direction of each pixel. The result is a distorted landscape and cityscape imagery which seems to constantly resonant and mutate, and in which the 44 min recording is reduced to 13 minutes. He shows this image on a 12 metre screen.

It is a great pity that is was so badly placed. It is a stunningly beautiful 'transformation landscape'.

RealSound by Aldje van Meer and Radboud Mens (Netherlands)

3D-Quoter by Paul Klotz (Netherlands)
Viewed from the back of the cube form where the lit forms seemed abstract.
From the front the 8x8x8 matrix displayed letters, which make it less interesting for me.

TouchMe by David Kousemaker (Netherlands)
The glass panel was like a vertical scanner, where every few minutes a new scan of light would erase the old image and record the new one. It was the piece people interacted the most with.
Actually the only work I had to queue for :>

The Strp festival for art and technology, 25 March 2006
This is the third time I've seen this (DEAF 2004, ARS 2005)
and it looked it's best here set up on a platform in alone at the end of a long hall.

Spatial Sounds by Edwin van der Heide + Marnix de Nijs (The Netherlands)
It made a deep dense irritating sound as the speaker swung around rapidly.
It felt dangerous, and I guess that was the point of the work.

Barbot by Time's Up/HRL (Austria)
A robot that held out its hand for money, which it then put it in the box which then did nothing. The information asked for money to pay for drinks for the robot.

Barbot by Time's Up/HRL (Austria)
The camera-eye would focus on someone whose image would also appear on the black and white monitor, then it would hold out its hand in your direction. The flash you see here is caused by my camera.
