Japanese Media Art Timeline Infographics Project
Atsuhito Sekiguchi(JP), Hiroko Myokan(JP), Minoru Noma (JP), Keiko Kobayashi (JP), Ryoji Tanaka (JP)
We are trying to build a history of Japanese media art from the event, with the artistic support of company Mesena (mécénat) and through the student-teacher relationships at the educational research institute. It will consist of an infographic that clearly displays the relationship between the winning projects at PRIX ARS Electronica and those at the Japan Media Art Festival.

As every year, Ars Electronica Animation Festival is a condensed best-of of current productions in digital filmmaking, selected from the entries of this year’s Prix Ars Electronica, the international competition for cyber arts in the computer animation category. Trends of the last few years are continuing with further growth in AI-related themes, VR productions, installative works, large scale mappings, and interactive elements.
It started with Cassette Culture!

At this year's Ars Electronica Festival, Wolfgang Dorninger will setup a sound installation based on tape loops, self-soldered autogenerative music machines, synthetic bird sounds and algorithmic sound creations which will be amplified with tactile speakers, horns and subwoofers to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Ars Electronica.
ARS and the CITY
A retrospective of the activity and impact of Ars Electronica in, with and for Linz: Ars Electronica’s art, media and participation projects in public space – from 1979 to the present day.
ARS on the WIRE
Long before the Internet began to attract widespread attention in the form of the WWW and before a young generation of artists began to critically examine the structures, peculiarities, and future possibilities of this new medium under the term “Net Art,” telecommunications art projects began to take place (from the late 1970s onwards) dealing with global networking. From the outset, Ars Electronica was a venue for this pioneering artistic work.
40 Years Ars Electronica
At the festival, 40 Years Ars Electronica is celebrated in two formats, each presenting a selection of outstanding projects in the history of Ars Electronica. ARS and the CITY displays exceptional works in the public space at the LENTOS museum while ARS on the WIRE shows initiatives in the public digital space at the POSTCITY.
