"Als ich mit Diskriminierung in IT-Systemen konfrontiert war und es nicht länger hinnehmen wollte" II

Doris Allhutter (AT), Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Technology Assessment

Dieser Workshop wendet die dekonstruktive Methode des Mind Scripting an, um den Einfluss zu verstehen, den selbst Technologien, die wir ablehnen, auf uns haben können. Anhand unserer eigenen Erinnerungen als experimentelle Ressource werden wir untersuchen, wie sich Diskriminierung und Privilegien in unseren Praktiken materialisieren. Dies zielt darauf ab, kollektive Handlungsfähigkeit und Aktivismus zu entwickeln.

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.
