We’ll be taking a very innovative and interesting approach to our “Out of Control” exhibition this coming Sunday, May 20 at 8 PM—an online treasure hunt in cooperation with Jananas Gold!
The Ars Electronica Center is going to have a Soundlab. You can build your Soundcloudminiatures in it (https://ars.electronica.art/klangwolke/en/participate/soundcloudminiatures/) or enjoy various soundinstallation. This is part of the room in it’s current stage, the doors open on May, 17th.
The law in force since April 1, 2012 that requires public telecommunications service providers to record data about network users’ activities including their geographic location when such activity occurs and to store that data for a period of six months is difficult to reconcile with our constitutional guarantees of the confidentiality of personal data and…
Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google (there’s probably no need you provide you with a link here, right?), recently gave a detailed and comprehensive account of some of the looming threats and his critique of them. In this connection, he regards closed systems like Facebook and Apple’s Appstore as discrete domains that make…
Every once in a while, you’re watching at a scenery so beautiful, that you want to capture it and show it to your friends. More often than not, there’s a camera around, but there’s also the romantic way of painting the whole sensation. You pick your brush or pen, start to fill the paper with…
Texta, one of the most famous Hip-Hop-Crews from Austria, have shot their last video for “Grotesk” at the Ars Electronica Center. Using the floors, cellar and facade as a backdrop for a computergame, Wolfang Schober has produced quite an impressive video. Enjoy!

My favorite installation at the Ars Electronica Center is the BrainLab’s Brain-Computer Interface. BCI establishes a link between the human brain and a computer. It’s similar to an electroencephalogram (EEG), a measurement of the brain’s electrical activity. You put on a special cap studded with electrodes hooked up to cables, and they transmit the activities…
BioLab closely resembles the typical picture people have in mind of a laboratory. Here, you’ll find all sorts of equipment, stuff that most of us would have a hard time telling apart from a coffeemaker or a fridge. Test tubes and containers holding seedlings and specimens adorn the shelves. But there’s one big difference between…
Biology made the start. The visitors, teachers, pupils, physicists and others had the chance to try out things like DAPI-Coloring (the coloring of cells), the visualisation of DNA or check out what their bodies look in detail, using a scanning electron microscope. The next Science Days will be on February 11th and 12th and will…
I’m a photography enthusiast, so of course my favorite installation is the TWAN Globe in GeoCity. A touchscreen lets users rotate the sphere bristling with digital pins that mark the spots on our planet’s surface where the shots that make up “The World at Night” exhibition were taken. There are 84 of them, each one…
Entering the Ars Electronica Center’s Main Gallery, the AEC’s largest exhibition space, brings you face-to-face with “New Views of Humankind.” The installation is divided into four themes, which this blog will elaborate on over the coming weeks. Let’s start things off with Robotinity.
