Pre-Opening-Walk

Am Vorabend des Ars Electronica Festival besuchen wir bei einem Rundgang die zentralen Locations in der Linzer Innenstadt.

Department of space&designstrategies

LOOPS OF WISDOM Exhibition, Kunstuniversität Linz

In April 2020, when Austria first began its lockdown due to the pandemic and the university immediately switched to distance learning, Xian Zheng created the Post-it to Post It workshop. Every Friday in April, students submit five post-it-sized diary drawings, which are uploaded to an online gallery on Pinterest. The mini-sized drawing paper recycles daily waste paper and distracts from the trouble of not being able to go shopping.

Sound Campus

Sound Campus opens a possibility for students and researchers of the University of Art and Design Linz to present new forms of sonic arts to the great audience at the Ars Electronica Festival. This year’s program resonates with the revival of “Reclaim The City” sensibilities grown after lockdown periods. Mini-raves, organized by youngsters on the Danube’s shores, are boosted by battery-powered bluetooth speakers and delimited only by towels and picnic blankets.

LEONARDO LASER LINZ – Die Gartenlaube / Garden Gazebo

In September 2021, Linz is joining the Leonardo Art & Science Evening Rendezvous (LASER) network. This international program brings together artists, scientists, scholars and the general public for inspiring presentations and conversations. The LEONARDO LASER LINZ, hosted by the Interface Cultures department at the University of Art and Design Linz, will be held during the Ars Electronica 2021 Festival.

Akademie der Gedanken (Academy of Thoughts)

Department of Interface Cultures

A courtyard, a tree, a fountain and lots of pens and paper: this is the setting in which we are reflecting, together with invited partners. We sit around a tree and think, we sketch out ideas, scribble futures and write, together, on a critical image of our time.

LOOPS OF WISDOM Highlights, Guided Tour

University of Art and Design Linz (AT)

This highlight tour will take you on a journey through the LOOPS OF WISDOM exhibitions, as well as the exhibition of our partner university Zurich Academy of the Arts, along with some of the best talks and lectures of the Academy of Thoughts, and some backstory about how the Sound Campus has evolved in its second year.

Department of Architecture | Urban Studies

LOOPS OF WISDOM Exhibition, Kunstuniversität Linz

FLUT is a 1:1 project at the Urfahranermarkt Linz, a largely fallow area next to the Danube that is only briefly used twice a year for a fair. After a year of digital teaching, students went to the market area and developed parts of it according to their wishes. The area became a free zone, an experimental field for new architectures, a laboratory for artistic productions, a testing ground for new urban practices and a better usability of the city. As the pandemic has shown, the city needs open, freely accessible and consumption-free spaces and infrastructures.

Department of Design & Technology

LOOPS OF WISDOM Exhibition, Kunstuniversität Linz

The Crafting Futures Lab is a platform for active investigations of the future of craft, the craft of the future and the crafting of futures. It researches and practices materials, techniques and tools as processes and means to generate and diversify knowledge and engage diverse audiences in thinking and acting towards alternative futures. Active questioning, learning, and sharing are core premises to the inquiries undertaken at the intersection of traditional crafts, digital technologies and education.

Department of Art Education

LOOPS OF WISDOM Exhibition, Kunstuniversität Linz

While modern technology cannot replace the analog world’s haptic experience, it can complement it perfectly. Play with Pixels is an interactive open lab about the smallest part of a digital raster graphic. We zoom into the pixel world to enlarge, illuminate, recombine and make the world of digital images more tangible. Visitors are invited to create their own pixel postcards on site and to send pixelated greetings from downtown to the Open Lab at Kepler’s Garden.

Department of Time-based and Interactive Media Arts

Ars Electronica Campus: LOOPS OF WISDOM

Kunstuniversität Linz

LOOPS OF WISDOM is not a solution but a possible guide to action: a well-conceived set of inspiring exhibitions, presentations, performances, interventions, workshops and lab settings and a discursive platform, all by students and faculty of the University of Art and Design Linz on the occasion of the Ars Electronica Festival 2021.

Department of Fashion & Technology

LOOPS OF WISDOM Exhibition, Kunstuniversität Linz

Humans’ desire to express through colour dates to prehistoric times. Colours serve as a means of communication and expression, directly triggering feelings of relaxation, as well as tense and intense emotions. An unconscious use of colours and dyes, however, harms the environment tremendously and can be seen in rivers that shimmer in all imaginable colours. Toxic and polluted, they destroy the habitat of living creatures that depend on clean water. But not all coloured waters result from this devastating use.

Infinite Nows

Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), Interaction Design Department IAD (CH)

Infinite Nows is showcasing student projects of the Interaction Design department (IAD) at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Probing alternative presents through investigative, speculative and experimental practices, Infinite Nows’ projects reflect the values and approaches of IAD that have been shaped over its 20-year existence. Interaction design is, above, all about the relationality and entanglement of human and non-human actions.

Interface Cult

Department of Interface Cultures

Contemporary artists, designers and inventors are creating new connections and systems, exploring how silicon, organic and even speculatively alien forms of life are entangling, mutating, evolving. What can these new entities and relationships look like? Are they friendships and collaboration, or competitions and conflict? For these new exchanges we need new languages: programmable, aesthetic, interspecies, non-human and post-scientific. The emerging hybrid and cyborg entities join and celebrate shamanistic and nonverbal traditions, hidden cultures, with magical symbols, energies and fictions. A culture or even a cult of symbiosis is required, a fusion between old and new ways of dealing with reality.
