One of the coolest things i have seen in a while. Claus Helfenschneider from Austria and his team created this cool DMX lighting display from an exsisting AEC building. Check it out.

Main Gallery below the Water Table
Situated on the building’s east side is a spacious terrace that provides an attractive setting for open-air events. Its eastern end inclines upwards and features a set of wide steps. Directly below this Ars Electronica Plaza is the approximately 1,000-m2 Main Gallery, the core of the new Ars Electronica Center. This exhibition space’s floor is about 1½ meters below groundwater level, which presented a major construction challenge. The eastern end of the Main Gallery segues into the labs, testing facilities and workshops of the Ars Electronica Futurelab, whose staffers now enjoy ideal working conditions.
It’s part of Ars Electronica’s nature to constantly seek out what’s new. In going about this, however, attention is never on art, on technology or on society singly while excluding the other two. Instead, the focus is always on complex changes and interrelationships at the nexus of all three. For three decades now, Ars Electronica has been living out this curiosity, a sense of inquisitiveness that is constantly manifesting itself in new and unexpected ways—as speculative futuristic scenarios or provocative actionism, philosophical debates or analytical scrutiny of current developments. At all times, Ars Electronica defines its artistic-scientific mission as working together with the public as well as working to educate the public. Regardless of periodic changes in content and inevitable structural updates, the fundamental orientation remains the same—the focus is constantly on the issues of critical importance to our society.
