Tour: New Materials III
In Ars Electronicas' MaterialLab, we're not only interested in what new materials are currently being researched, but also in how they can be produced. This doesn't always necessarily require computers - there are also so-called programmable textiles. We'll show you what these are and how something like that can work.

Tour: New Materials II English
How could the production of tomorrow look like? During this tour of the Ars Electronica MaterialLab, you'll learn about the new everyday materials currently being researched that can be manufactured without environmentally harmful production processes, using biological processes.

Tour: Bio Art & Science II
Humans are a highly complex organism with more than 87 billion individual cells, which makes it very difficult to completely record and examine them. The organoids of the human brain developed by Madeline Lancaster and Jürgen Knoblich at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences - organ-like, artificially produced microstructures a few millimetres in size - represent a real paradigm shift.

Inside Futurelab: Immersify (The translucent St. Stephen’s Cathedral)
With more than 20 billion laser points the cathedral church of St. Stephen in Vienna was measured. In this unique level of detail they correspond to a data volume of almost 400 gigabytes and form the basis of the translucent St. Stephen's Cathedral.
