Mineral Amnesia recieved an Award of Distinction at Prix Ars Electronica
​
''Mineral Amnesia explores the rise and decay of erasable, programmable silicon memory through sound. Obsolete EPROMs—microchips sealed under quartz—gradually lose data. In this installation, 8K-bit to 1 Mbit EPROMs replay recorded sound under UV light until it disappears. Romanian artist Ioana Vreme Moser reflects on the digital dark age via this forgotten technology. Invented in 1971, EPROMs marked a turning point in computing history. The work questions digital permanence and highlights the fragility of memory as loops dissolve into noise and silence. The audience experiences this acoustic erosion live—as memory fades and machines forget. The jury was particularly impressed by the theme of “the erasure of memory” and its powerful artistic execution, especially the use of obsolete storage systems and a custom sound-light setup that makes the concept physically and sensually tangible. The work is highly relevant. The relevance of the work is alarming. In times when truth is manipulated and humanistic values eroded, it reflects societal decline. Fragile achievements like democracy, peace, and remembrance are vanishing. Painful history loses meaning, while populist rhetoric drowns out facts and memory. When the memory storage of truth is ultimately deleted, the system status ”Error 404 – Democracy not found“ will appear. ''
Fluid Anatomy recieved a Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica
​
''Fluid Anatomy by Ioana Vreme Moser uses air and water to create a new kind of computation. This installation uses technologies from the mid-20th century to show how circuits can be made from pressure, flow, and resonance. It has tubes, pulses, and murmurs that visitors can see, hear, and feel. This makes computation visible and audible. The work is special because it looks at the past and challenges ideas about technology. Instead of making us feel nostalgic, it shows us a different path for technology. One that is slower, softer, and more connected to the real world. For its critical engagement with alternative technologies and for inviting us to rethink what computation can look and feel like, Fluid Anatomy is commended by the jury in the Artificial Life & Intelligence category.
