Aquateque is a short film exploring the river Ruhr through a variety of new media technologies. The project combines AI and AR tools to explore sustainable ways of creating digital materials which merge nature and computation.
The diverse ecosystem of the surrounding is captured through audio, visual and 3d programming tools and transformed into a generative augmented space.
About the artists
Studio Above&Below is a London based art and technology practice founded by Daria Jelonek (DE) and Perry-James Sugden (UK) after graduating from the Royal College of Art. Their work combines computational design, speculative storytelling and digital art in order to draw together unseen connections between humans, machines and the environment – working towards better future interactions with our environment. Believing in research based art, Studio Above&Below works with scientists, technologists and communities to push the boundaries of digital media for future living. Over the last years the duo has created ground breaking artworks using immersive technologies such as AR and MR with live data inputs in order to make the invisible visible and give our environment a voice to express itself.Einar Fehrholz is currently working as a musician, sound designer, DJ and curator. His musical journey started with playing the guitar in various bands and recording projects. At the age of seventeen he started DJ'ing, playing all sorts of left field electronica and bass music. Soon after he got into producing electronic music and experimenting with sound as an artistic medium. As part of the art collective Skribble Gebibble he organized various events in the west german Ruhr-Area, blurring the boundaries between art events, concerts and parties. Most recently he started collaborating with visual artists to create Audio/Visual experiences.
Einar Fehrholz has a degree in art-history, musicology, cultural management and art-mediation.
