Highlights
AI meets Music
AI x Music is an exhibition about the encounter between Artificial Intelligence and music, as well as human creativity and technical perfection. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence offer a multitude of possibilities for creative composition. Artists all over the world are already experimenting with them.
Inside Festival: S+T+ARTS Prize 2020 / Artistic Exploration: Andrea Ling
Andrea Ling is winner of the S+T+ARTS Prize 2020 for category Artistic Exploration with her project Design by Decay, Decay by Design, produced during her residency with Ginkgo Bio works in 2019.
Donkey Car - The self driving Toy Car
A "Donkey Car" is a self-driving car in mini format, a remote-controlled car that is trained to be able to independently master a course. Donkey is an open source project of a group of volunteers who share a common enthusiasm for self-driving cars - and want to build them themselves.
KI on Board - How Artificial Intelligence learns a car to drive
In a few years, robot cars will be encountered more and more often as real road users in everyday life. Robots behind the wheel? Probably not in this form. Rather, Artificial Intelligence is the key to autonomous driving.
Science Talk: On understanding and trust - How teamwork between man and machine works
Robot psychologist Martina Mara tells what the trend area of collaborative robotics can learn from psychological theories of trust-building and she gives insights into a current research project in which the trustworthiness of robot colleagues is being investigated using virtual reality.
Deep Space: Pieter Bruegel - Making the invisible visible
We project the small-scale works of the Dutch Renaissance artist Pierter Bruegel onto the large projection surface of Deep Space - as gigapixel images in which the smallest details can be zoomed in.
Object detection – This is where the AI fails
In this Home-Delivery episode you will learn how the training of an Artificial Intelligence works exactly and how and why the AI is sometimes wrong in object detection.
Science Talk: In the Glass House of the Soul
In this Science Talk, Prof. Dr. Andreas Gruber, Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Kepler University Hospital, will talk about the latest methods in brain surgery, from microsurgery to neuronavigation and digitalised surgery simulations.
Tour: Brainpower & ... IV
In this guided tour, we look at how complex the linked brain cells of humans are and how this is in contrast to other living beings, such as the nematode C. Elegance.

Deep Space LIVE: Zodiac Signs in the Light of Science – Cancer
In the second part of the series "Signs of the Zodiac in the Light of Science" with astrophotographer Dietmar Hager we take a look at the cancer.
Artist Talk: Rashin Fahandej – American Arts Incubator – Austria
Ars Electronica, in collaboration with ZERO1, U.S. Embassy Vienna, and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is pleased to announce the American Arts Incubator — Austria with the lead artist Rashin Fahandej.
Tour: Brainpower & ... III
In this tour we show you, that the real detailed functionality of our nerve cells is the basis for a different approach on Artificial Intelligence: biologically based machine learning.
Tour: Brainpower & ... II
From the structure of the Gyri and Sulci, which we now already know from the "Tour: Brainpower & ... I", we zoom into the deeper layers: What do neurons look like? How does the information transfer in the brain take place? And how does our nervous system work?
Tour: Brainpower & ... I
In this short tour we will show you the origins of brain research, which findings have brought us further and which modern devices are currently being used.
Press Conference: Ars Electronica Festival 2020
The Ars Electronica Festival 2020 will take place from September 9 to 13! Klaus Luger (Mayor of the City of Linz), Doris Lang-Mayerhofer (City Councillor for Culture and Chairwoman of the Ars Electronica Advisory Board), University Professor Dr. Meinhard Lukas (Rector of JKU) and Gerfried Stocker (Artistic Director of Ars Electronica) will present the theme and focus at this press conference.
Concert: Maki Namekawa and Dennis Russell Davies
On the occasion of the 85th birthday of the Austrian composer Kurt Schwertsik, Maki Namekawa and Dennis Russell Davies play six Macbeth pieces from his oeuvre in "I'll charm the air to give a sound ...". In addition, music by Joep Beving and Ludwig von Beethoven's Fidelio awaits you.
Science Talk: Learning to program playfully (not only) during the lockdown
Bored students in the school desks were yesterday! Peter Bauer, professor at the HTL Leonding, has come up with a concept to keep his students motivated to participate in computer science classes!
Tour: Upper Austrian Panoptikum IV
In this Spanish tour we give you an insight into our exhibition „AI x Music“ from the first string and wind instruments of ancient times to the digital synthesizers of today, from the wax rollers and soot-covered glass plates of the first precursors of the gramophone to the digital streaming services of the Internet.
Tour: Upper Austrian Panoptikum III
In 2020, the Ars Electronica Festival will take place for the first time on the campus of Johannes Kepler University. However, this is by no means the first cooperation between the JKU and Ars Electronica.
