Alchemists of the Future
Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
The Ars Electronica Futurelab turns 25 – a good reason to look back to the future. The digital revolution has been shaping our everyday lives for many years now and will continue to do so in future. To find out what role we humans want to play in a highly technologized world of tomorrow, we develop visions and ideas to shape our future.

Big Concert Night: Sonitus aeternus - The Bruckner 9 Project
Bruckner Orchester Linz (AT)
Once again, Ars Electronica’s Big Concert Night goes on a grand voyage of discovery. After exploring the world of robotics and AI, encountering digital images and engaging with dance and theater, the focus this year is on the core of all music: the acoustic basis for sound and the space that sound can create. On the one hand, we examine the physical space that sound waves traverse and create, but of course we will also explore the metaphysical multidimensions that sound opens up in the process of becoming music.
digital mirror
Michael Zaminer (AT)
Young Creatives u14 Prize, Prix Ars Electronica 2021 | The project digital mirror is a LED wall consisting of 500 pixels. It measures 1 meter x 1.25 meters and is about 13 centimeters deep. Each pixel is 5 x 5 centimeters in size. The wall is powered by a power supply and an Arduino Uno. It is interactive, which means that the patterns and color on the wall can be changed with different influences. With a 20 x 25 pixel resolution, you can project images, patterns and more.
Black Day
Students of the MS Lehen (AT)
Young Creatives u14 Award, Prix Ars Electronica 2021 | Black Day is a series of three mixed reality games: Enter a creepy house with us, escape the treacherous traps of a crazy school or find your way as an influencer in the jungle of shady products. We take the players into a world that mixes elements of board games, adventure games, media art and comics. Among other things, the students have developed their own game format, the "game comic.
Reunited
Clara Weiss (AT)
Young Creatives u14 Award, Prix Ars Electronica 2021 | For years, humans constructed so many buildings without any regard for nature that there were no longer any open spaces left on Earth. Green spaces were covered over and animals were driven from their natural habitat. For fear of not having sufficient room, people started stacking their houses on top of each other to take better advantage of the available space. As a result of the massive CO2 emissions, the last small remnant of nature was obliterated once and for all. But Mother Nature was not yet completely destroyed.
Juck uf
Students at Bundesgymnasium Dornbirn (AT)
Young Creatives u14 recognition, Prix Ars Electronica 2021 | Constant sitting in our everyday lives has become a problem of society. Due to the Corona pandemic and the resulting lockdowns, we are sitting for even longer periods of time, and the consequences of this, from muscle shortening to a higher mortality rate, will be with us for a long time to come.
Das unmögliche Computerspiel
Students of class 1B at RG/ORG antonkriegergasse (AT)
Young Creatives u12 Prize, Prix Ars Electronica 2021 | The students of class 1B at Vienna’s RG/ORG antonkriegergasse have made a film on the subject of “We Save the World,” in which a much-anticipated school trip to Mars is interrupted by an alien attack. The students were fascinated by film as a medium and made great progress within only a few days. Here a few statements by the producers about their work.
