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. On this page, we’ll present 12 randomly selected offerings each from the online and Linz programs of the 2021 Ars Electronica Festival. Hit the button or come back later, and we’ll fire up the random generator one more time.
