Ars Electronica Features is a curated platform that is continued together with international partner institutions. It presents projects in which art and technology come together in a special way. Originally launched as a decentralized format during the pandemic, the initiative has become an integral part of the festival. In addition to the Ars Electronica Features Exhibition, related events also take place during the festival.

The lost limbo: Sister Lin-Tou

In this VR journey inspired by the a Taiwanese folk tale, the dancer’s body expands into a vast performance space resembling flesh or intertwining like vines. Viewers are led into Sister Lin-Tou’s ghostly realm and reflect on women’s social position in the age of human-machine interaction.
