Art in the Cloud | Panel Discussion II

The development of media art and the online art space are both tightly enmeshed with the technological innovations of their times. Art in the Cloud is curatorial research that explores how the sudden growth of online art spaces contributes to the transformation of the presentation of media artworks. Specifically, we question how inherent characteristics such as interactivity and immersion shift in online exhibitions. How does today's online space contribute to, or limit, artistic creativity? What are some of the unexpected challenges that artists have encountered? What are some of the new potentials that emerge from the technological impediments we come across?

How to stay a critical artist when working with industry

Ars Electronica UK Garden: STARTS Debate

Artists are constantly facing new challenges, with NFT for instance being a recent and ongoing issue. How do artists maintain their ethical position as well as remain relevant, catalytic, and critical while working with industry and trying to make a living? What are the ramifications of entering the market and selling their work? How can artists ensure they consider the social, economic and environmental impact of working with industry?

Creative Intelligence x Art Thinking

Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)

Deep Virtual places the protagonists in an immersive environment that provides an appropriate backdrop for the future alchemists of the Ars Electronica Futurelab. Conceived to produce hybrid media formats, it also allows viewers a joint immersion within a new dimension of virtual worlds, and thus represents a step into the future of Deep Space 8K and Ars Electronica Home Delivery.

When humans and robots work side by side, it’s not always easy: widespread skepticism and a lack of communication paradigms will create new challenges in future work environments. How can trust and acceptance be established in the workplace of the future? How can human-robot work environments be designed?

Deep changing - About transforming society through a social value change

Speakers: Luka Frelih (SI), Veronika Liebl (AT), Miha Turšič (SI/NL) Moderator: Jurij Krpan (SI)

In this panel discussion we intend to look at the experiences of establishing konS ≡ Platform, a national network of institutions as hubs of investigative learning, radical art-making and translating art ideations into possible innovations for a more ethical coexistence of technologies, man and nature, by comparing it with the experience of two other platforms - Ars Electronica in Linz and the Waag Society in Amsterdam, which intensively engage in the inclusion of all social groups into the processes of critical societal transformation.
