Ars Electronica

Ok so maybe it was cooler than I thought it was going to be...

Actually it was a lot of fun! I didn't understand how any of it worked but you could play and have fun with everything.

There was a picture taking booth that then puts someone else's face on top of yours. Lets just say that if Derrick and I had a child it would be one ugly kid.

There was a cool computer you could draw right on the screen but the "paper" you were drawing on was constantly rotating.

There was this table that if you put stuff on it, depending on how solid or soft the object was, it made a different click or thud sound so you could experiment and make beats.

The best was a massive virtual world you could make with little boxes. You put the boxes into cubby holes and either took video or made pictures and then put the boxes on this table and whatever you recorded in the box entered your virtual world that you traveled around through a camera or a scooter.

Reading back, none of this makes sense but it really is how it was. I think Derrick can better explain...

Also if you would like to read his side of the story for other adventures, um, like the castle...
