What motivates young media artists today? What topics are relevant to them, and what forms of expression do they choose to communicate with the public?
For the 13th time, the Ars Electronica Center is presenting current works by students of the Department of Time-based and Interactive Media Art at the University of Arts Linz.
The exhibition series TIME OUT — Time-based and Interactive Media Arts meets Ars Electronica is a collaboration between Ars Electronica and the University of Arts Linz that has been running since 2013. This format gives young artists the opportunity to present their work to a broad public at one of the leading exhibition venues for media art, and to engage with
an international audience, receive feedback and to network. It offers visitors new perspectives and access to unconventional, young artistic creation.
The students’ current media art works are selected jointly by the Ars Electronica team and the Department of Time-based and Interactive Media Art at the University of Arts Linz and are further developed for the museum’s exhibition spaces. This selection is made in line with the overall concept of the Ars Electronica Center. Due to the wide range of the program, the works are very diverse and reflect the individual approaches and interests of the artists in terms of both form and content.
