    Visualisations in science and art
    Visual perception is a key process for human beings. Consequently, images play an important role in both science and art.

    In science, images are primary data or serve as visualisations that help to make sense of information. In research, images are accordingly found at the beginning and end of a process of recognition. Images as works of art can be understood as the culmination of creative activity but can equally serve as the inspiration at the beginning of a creative process.

    Presentation in the Planetarium, Vienna

    Virgil Widrich is appointed the artistic director of the exhibition "90 Years of the Salzburg Festival" held from 17 June to 26 October 2010 in Salzburg Museum. The centrepiece is a multimedia "meta-exhibition", a compilation of performances from the most important productions of the last nine decades rearranged to create a programme that never actually existed in this form. The stage for this production is an abstract model that represents and reproduces the Festival venues in keeping with Max Reinhardt's motto, "The city as a stage".

    From the ORF-Announcement:
    "... At 13, he experimented with a Super-8 camera, at 15 he shoots his first film with real people and enrolls a star actor from the Berliner Schaubühne: Libgart Schwarz. The script is monumental, reads like a Japanese B-Movie and bears the title: "Monster in Salzburg". The giant is a 30-centimeter-long wooden doll with yarn hair and is brought to life by means of stop-motion. Widrich built entire streets as a model..."

    Curating the film series "Carte blanche vs brown thoughts" at Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival.

    Austrian films have been dealing with "brown thoughts" for many years, whereas "brown" does not have much in common with the act of "thinking". In a long sequence in the film "Autumn 95/Fall 95" we can get a notion of what kind of people were attracted by events with Jörg Haider in 1995, and what they had to say. Today we can see many other people around Haider, who had not yet come to the forefront in 1995.
    "Zero Crossing" is situated on the other side of the spectrum of opinions; in equally long sequences, it is banning the instantaneous disgust in March 2000 on film. The state of shock of the interviewees then has today – two years after the Freedom Party has entered the Austrian government – given place to a common paralysis. The opponent has, in the meanwhile, become powerful: in Austria, we were first with a right wing government. Now, there is not only Haider, but there are also Berlusconi and Bush. Those people are going to stay with us for a while because difficult times are heydeys for bad politicians. On the other hand, difficult times are also heydeys for good films – and nine of those can be seen at Clermont-Ferrand. They are entirely different films, but what they stand against is always the same.
    Many thanks to Amour Fou Filmproduktion, Meter, Navigator Film, Sixpack Film, "Die Kunst der Stunde ist Widerstand" and Schnittpunktfilm.

    tx-transform is a film technique that transposes the time axis (t) and one of the space axes (x or y) with one another. Normally, each individual frame of the film depicts the entire space, but only a moment in time (1/24 second). With tx-transformed films, it is just the opposite: each frame shows the entire time, but only a tiny portion of space – if one cuts alongside the horizontal space axis, the left portion of the picture turns into the "the before", the right one into "the after".

    This lecture is held together with Martin Reinhart.

    Lecture "How to write interactive dialogues?".
    Writing interactive dialogues seems to be impossible. How can a conversation contain numerous possibilities without being arbitrary at the same time? In the interactive dialogue scenes the CD-ROM "Robbi – a CD-ROM adventure story" the characters in many scenes speak only when instructed by a mouse click, the user can even decide who, when and how often the character speaks. Despite these options, the talking animals have themes and thoughts supporting both the personality of each character while advancing the story. With a budget of 5 million Austrian Schillings "Robbi - a CD-ROM adventure story"is one of the most elaborate multimedia products ever made in Austria. Over 120 graphic designers, technicians and animators worked for one year on this production. For "Robbi", Virgil Widrich was scriptwriter and production manager.

    Lecture "How to write interactive dialogues?".
    Writing interactive dialogues seems to be impossible. How can a conversation contain numerous possibilities without being arbitrary at the same time? In the interactive dialogue scenes the CD-ROM "Robbi – a CD-ROM adventure story" the characters in many scenes speak only when instructed by a mouse click, the user can even decide who, when and how often the character speaks. Despite these options, the talking animals have themes and thoughts supporting both the personality of each character while advancing the story. With a budget of 5 million Austrian Schillings "Robbi – a CD-ROM adventure story"is one of the most elaborate multimedia products ever made in Austria. Over 120 graphic designers, technicians and animators worked for one year on this production. For "Robbi", Virgil Widrich was scriptwriter and production manager.
