At the Ars Electronica Festival 2025 from September 3 to 7, 2025, in Linz, Austria, the Futurelab invites you to back to the Open Futurelab, Deep Space 8K, and the popular Futurelab Night. Festival visitors experience the lab’s latest works and can also actively participate in its research.
We at the Ars Electronica Futurelab understand HOPE – motto of the Ars Electronica Festival 2024 – as a process that can be shaped through art and active participation. We therefore invited everyone to shape HOPE together: from September 4 to 8, 2024, at the Open Futurelab in POSTCITY at the Ars Electronica Festival.
Reaching out to one another, spreading hope in trying times and literally grasping technology as a social tool for the futures: this is what the Open Futurelab as part of the Ars Electronica Festival 2023, from September 6 to 10, was all about.
In 2022, the Ars Electronica Futurelab once again organized a special “Open Futurelab” program for the general public during the Ars Electronica Festival: Futurelab Day on September 8, themed “Creative Resilience for a Planet B.”
In 2021, the Ars Electronica Futurelab celebrated its 25th anniversary. Under the heading Alchemists of the Future, the Open Futurelab therefor presented a look back at the lab’s challenges and successes, but most importantly its latest ideas and glimpes into the future.
