Target Groups

Festival for Explorers / Random Generator
We have to admit that a visit to the Ars Electronica Festival comes with a bit of chaos. But in this seemingly unmanageable range of programs-whether online or on-site-there are always chance encounters, with people and topics that initially lie outside one's own "bubble of interest" but then broaden one's horizons.

Festival for Activists
Agreeing together that something is wrong and needs to be changed is one side - just think of climate change... But it's much more important to take action and not just talk about it. A first step in this direction could be workshops and talks offered at the Ars Electronica Festival 2021.

Festival for AI and Robots
Who is interested in artificial intelligence, robotics and the like? What is happening in these areas of technology? What progress have we already made and what do we still need to think about fundamentally? Sound interesting? Then this way - we have some recommendations for visiting the festival on the web but also on site in Linz.

Festival for Art Enthusiasts
At the 2021 Ars Electronica Festival, new and established media art projects are just waiting to be discovered. Whether you're an art fan or an artist, this overview provides an initial introduction to the extensive program on the Web and on-site in Linz, where art is at the forefront.

Festival for Digital Communities
Doing something together without being together - worldwide networking makes physical locations obsolete and connects people all over the world. The community events at the Ars Electronica Festival 2021 show just how diverse this can be.

Festival for Digital Ecologists
The effects of climate change are not in the future, we are already in the midst of it. Now is the latest possible time to act. We need to get into action. Art provides us with new ideas, science provides us with data such as satellite images and with the necessary background knowledge to give us the tools to do so.

Festival for Educators
Education is the key word when it comes to providing the next generation with the tools they need to master all the challenges of the future. But what does education actually look like in the 21st century? What does it require? The Ars Electronica Festival 2021 is also a festival for educators.

Festival for Innovators
Artists have always been more than just observers and critics of the social structure, but have shown how they can act as catalysts for innovation. Today, artists are increasingly involved in the research and development of new technologies and drive innovation with their perspectives.

Festival for Techies and Digital Humanists
It's not about what technology can do - but about how we want to use technological tools in our society. What's the right way to go about it, and what are the possible solutions? That's the subject of numerous talks and workshops at the Ars Electronica Festival 2021.
