(Linz, 2.9.2020) Ars Electronica 2020 is taking place: not in spite of Corona, but because of it. From September 9 to 13, the Festival for Art, Technology and Society will simply ask the question, what should be done now? For the first time, this will be the theme not only in Linz – in the city center and on the beautiful JKU campus – but at 120 locations around the globe.

From Silicon Valley to Auckland, from Bergen to Johannesburg, in big cities like L.A., London, Berlin, Moscow, Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo, on a research ship in Antarctica or on the bed of the Adriatic Sea – in the midst of the corona pandemic, this year’s festival is more international than ever before. For the first time, Ars Electronica will take place not only in Linz but at 120 locations around the world. Festival venues can be found on every continent. They will show exhibitions, hold workshops and conferences, stage performances and concerts and offer guided “journeys.” All programs are aimed at the regional audience – Stay Home, Stay Safe! – and are linked by Ars Electronica to form a unique festival on the Net. Through streams, chats, blogs, social media and Mozilla Hubs, anyone can take part in this unique world tour
