Bill Fontana 于多米尼加女修道院的作品《寂静的回声》（Silent Echoes）将巴黎圣母院的钟声与达赫斯坦山脉（Dachstein）冰川的回声联系在一起。Petr Vacek 与 Adam Cigler 作品《反射》（Reflection）则是一个动态装置，以移动的机器人镜子为特色，与周围的光线和声音同步，创造出动态的视觉模式，邀请观众沉浸到艺术品和周围的环境中。

Bill Fontana’sSilent Echoes, hosted in the Dominican Convent, linked the sounds of Notre Dame Cathedral bells with glacial echoes from the Dachstein massif. Petr Vacek and Adam Cigler’s Reflection, a kinetic installation featuring moving robotic mirrors, synchronized with surrounding light and sound, created dynamic visual patterns, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork and the surrounding environment.
