(Linz, September 2, 2025) Three-metre-high glass sliding doors in the city’s Hauptplatz that sigh, sing and laugh when people cross their threshold. An oversized tongue at the information point of the
University of Arts Linz that begins to lick the window panes when people pass by. And, finally, an
android-type automaton called Fantomat at splace Gallery that is guaranteed to trigger further
provocation.
Welcome to Kunstuni Campus during the Ars Electronica Festival 2025: From Tuesday, 2
September, to Sunday, 7 September, more than eighteen university departments will be active
between the two bridgehead buildings in the city centre of the Upper Austrian capital. From
morning to afternoon, students and teachers will showcase experimental media art – admission
is always free. In addition, nine international institutions are to present their highlights at the
University of Arts Linz. This year’s specially featured guest and partner university is the National
Academy of Art Sofia with the exhibition “/decisions/make/art” at splace.
In view of the climate crisis, wars and the ever-increasing power of tech giants, this year’s Ars
Electronica Festival raises the big question PANIC – yes/no. The Kunstuni Campus exhibition
responds to this query with the motto Everything. Always. Open., accompanied by a sound
installation that was architecturally designed by Paul Eis in the historic main square and features
constantly opening and closing sliding doors.
