Programm
The Big Concert Night 2019
Since 2003, the collaboration with the Bruckner Orchestra has been an integral and unique part of the Ars Electronica Festival. It is a collaboration that makes it possible not only to perform interesting works each year, but also to develop unique artistic projects that bring together a wide variety of orchestral music, electronic music, robots, dancers and digital images.
LATENITE
The late night program: irreverent, satirical and little indecent. In Late Nite, the films walk the thin line between dead seriousness and biting satire; they are full of philosophical approaches on one side, and trashy humor on the other. Mourning and loss are processed in colorful and brutal cartoon aesthetic, memes and Internet humor thematized in the pixel format, and some of the films will remain a mystery even after thorough reflection.
Nightline
While the music of the Bruckner Orchester in the Gleishalle fades and some listeners still hear the final sounds of the instruments as they fall silent, we are getting the console ready for the transition to danceable sound experiments.
The Form of Digital Nature
Yoichi Ochiai (JP)
In Digital Nature, our current norms of physical and recognition abilities are transcended. Extremely enhanced computation and resolution abilities become part of daily life. The humanity of the future may live in Digital Nature, where the very concepts of nature, artificial objects, gravity and time are overturned.
MENTAL STATES
Mental confusion, fears and dead-end states form the undercurrent of this program. A young woman breaks free of her everyday life and embarks on an uncertain journey. A story about outsiders in a pub, a group therapy session with animals, and a boy trapped in societal constructions.
Artificial Light
Max Seeger (DE)
How does a neural network learn to see and how can we shape the perception of artificial intelligence? In a very experimental and fundamental manner, this project tries to study perception and recreation of light phenomena by artificial intelligence.

Doing Nothing with AI
Emanuel Gollob (AT)
In order to promote a doing nothing state in 2019, Emanuel Gollob and his team created a neuroreactive robotic installation, using live EEG-measurements and a real-time adapting choreography. Over time a generative algorithm increasingly learns to move the installation in a way that best supports the viewer’s mind-wandering process.
