At "R111,” the audience can feel energies of the following three
elements; (1) the movements of the audience on the sound floor
at the site, (2) the website participants, and (3) the webbot searching
linguistic information autonomously on the Internet. Those three
influence each other and produce a variety of waves, transmitted to
projected images, lighting, sounds, vibrations, and mechanisms in the
whole space. The audience can observe and feel how energies are
generated and transformed when different phenomena, ranging from
the virtual world on computers to the actual transformation of
materials, influence each other.

This exhibition is based on the “R111” co-produced by Michael Saup
+ supreme particles, and has been upgraded specially for this occasion
by the technical support by ARTLAB. An algorithm with higher precision
has been made possible for the webbot's Internet retrieval by using
the intellectual information retrieval technology developed by Canon.

Michael Saup is a professor at the department of new media at the
ZKM-HfG Karlsruhe. His work was presented in different international
events. In 1995, he saw himself awarded the prize Ars Electronica in
the interactive art category for Binary Ballistic Ballet. His work was
presented, among others , to Siggraph, in the gallery of Art New South
Wales, at the Venice Biennale and at the ZKM multimediale. Supreme
Particles, founded in 1992 by Michael and Anna Saup, is a co-operation
between varying visual artists, architects and computer scientists.
