YOUNG CREATIVES UND YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
This year’s u19 exhibition will invite all winners to exchange ideas and projects with each other. Their “homebase” will be the physical exhibition of the projects, where the winners can explain these to other artists and visitors. They will share their talents and show the audience of Ars Electronica Festival their view of possible future scenarios.
In 2019, the Prix Ars Electronica’s u19–create your world category was divided into two sections. First, ideas and projects could be submitted to YOUNG CREATIVES (up to age 14). This sub-category impressively demonstrates how children can help shape the present and future from their own perspective. For YOUNG PROFESSIONALS (14 – 19 years), innovative critical forward thinkers who have developed an artistic or critical project for the world of tomorrow are in demand.
Creating your World to Change our Perspective – The Moment Before
Sirikit Amann, Gerald Hartwig, Conny Lee, Karl Markovics, Irene Posch
As much as u19–create your world is, among other things, a representative sample of today’s youth and as such reflects the entire spectrum of inventiveness of an up-and-coming generation, each year is nonetheless marked by its own trend. This may be shaped by factors that have already manifested themselves in the lives of these young people, or by the degree to which they develop a sense of what adults expect from them. But youths also certainly have a feel for tendencies that are simply “in the air” and only gradually find their way into the collective perception. Even if the connection to the now ubiquitous and global Coronavirus would seem to suggest itself, one must, of course, be careful with such references. At the time of the submissions for this year’s u19 competition, COVID-19 did not even yet have a name, much less a public perception. It is nevertheless striking that a large number of the submitted works deal with topics that could be considered dark, chaotic, even dystopian: the disruption of adolescence, bullying, depression, suicide, the destruction of our earth by war or environmental damage, to mention only a few themes addressed by this year’s works. Two of the submissions even explicitly explore the subject of viruses. Without wanting to read too much into the projects or to overinterpret them, this much can be said: u19/2020 has no illusions! The time for rose-colored glasses is over. But u19/2020 also has no fear, because it is too late for pessimism as well! There is something crucial at stake here: our future as individuals and the fact that this can never be separated from our collective future—particularly not in a world that we refer to as a “global village.” One way or another, the future begins in the coming moment. What is decisive is the moment before.
