Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau
“More than a cabinet of curiosities, more than a terrarium, more than an aquarium”: a captivating look at thirty years of artistic work by the Austrian-French artist duo Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau. Working at the intersection of natural science, technology, and art, Austrian-French artist duo Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau pioneered the “Art of Interface”—innovative technical interfaces that enable physical interaction between simulative visual worlds and the world of natural sensory organs. Early on, the pair used algorithms to represent not only forms of the living but also their evolution and growth. Edited by Karin Ohlenschläger, Peter Weibel, and Alfred ...
Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau
Sommerer and Mignonneau are innovative and renowned media artists and researchers. This comprehensive overview of their work includes detailed project descriptions of each interactive artwork, essays, and articles by media scholars and theoreticians.
Interface Cultures
From media art archeology to contemporary interaction design - the term interface culture is based on a vivid and ongoing discourse in the fields of interactive art, interaction design, game design, tangible interfaces, auditory interfaces, fashionable technologies, wearable devices, intelligent ambiences, sensor technologies, telecommunication and new experimental forms of human-machine, human-human and machine-machine interactions and the cultural discourse surrounding them. This book's aim is to give an overview of the current state of interactive art and interface technology as well as an outlook on new forms of hybridization in art, media, scientific research and every-day media applications.
Living Systems
The works of Christa Sommerer (*Germany, 1964) and Laurent Mignonneau (*France, 1965) explore the relation between art, science and technology. Their projects have been branded as pioneering not only for their natural and intuitive development of diverse interactive interfaces, but also for the application of basic scientific principles from the fields of biology, artificial life, complexity science and nanotechnology. This book reviews their oeuvres and is a testament to the underlying scientific concepts. Sommerer and Mignonneau have shown in numerous exhibitions and are featured in digital art collections and museums around the world, including the ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany, and the NTT-ICC InterCommunication Center in Tokyo, Japan. In 1994, they received one of the most pres- tigious media art awards, the Golden Nica from Ars Electronica. They currently lecture at the International Academy of Media Arts and Sciences in Japan and at the University of Arts and Industrial Design in Linz, Austria. The book includes texts by two professors of art and science, Suzanne Witzgall and Ricard Sole.

The Art and Science of Interface and Interaction Design
Artists and creators in interactive art and interaction design have long been conducting research on human-machine interaction. Through artistic, conceptual, social and critical projects, they have shown how interactive digital processes are essential elements for their artistic creations. Resulting prototypes have often reached beyond the art arena into areas such as mobile computing, intelligent ambiences, intelligent architecture, fashionable technologies, ubiquitous computing and pervasive gaming. Many of the early artist-developed interactive technologies have influenced new design practices, products and services of today's media society. This book brings together key theoreticians and practitioners of this field. It shows how historically relevant the issues of interaction and interface design are, as they can be analyzed not only from an engineering point of view but from a social, artistic and conceptual, and even commercial angle as well.
