About
In conjunction with the fifth Ars Electronica exhibition "Human Factor – Endless Prototyping", artist Tobias Nolte talks with Jan Kage from FluxFM about his currently exhibited work "Mine the Scrap" and his artistic practice in general. As an alternative to costly recycling of construction-site waste materials, "Mine the Scrap" finds a new use for each small part. The software scans the material and calculates a way to combine the pieces into a new form.
In English. Admission is free.
