Christl Baur, Head of Ars Electronica Festival and Manuela Hillmann, Producer of Festival Gardens, invite you to a journey through our festival gardens in Chile.  Where are we standing? questions the current socio-political situation in Chile as well as beyond.

You are invited to wander through the Polygonal Forest, a protected area in the Andean Araucanía, dedicated to preserving ecosystems.  In the Atacama Desert we shift our eyes towards distant galaxies, while talking about landscapes of the 21st century and hearing from devices, that are witnesses of Chile’s social movements.
