Ars Electronica Futurelab Events

The Ars Electronica’s artistic R&D laboratory and atelier invites you to participate and create the futures together at POSTCITY and in Deep Space 8K: You have the chance to explore collaborative research prototypes, installations, workshops, talks, tours, multiplayer artworks, and performances.

  • Inference Ground Truth: Demonstration

    Johannes Pöll (AT), Raphael Schaumburg-Lippe (AT), Simon Schmid (AT)

    Inference Ground Truth explores how machines and humans perceive and record reality. The artists are present to offer a comprehensive deep dive into the scanning volume as interactive art installation.

  • Deep Sync Connect

    Susanne Kiesenhofer (AT), Daniel Rammer (AT), Anna Weiss (DE/AT), Johannes Pöll (AT)

    Deep Sync Connect creates a virtual interaction between on-site and remote participants reflecting on real-life encounters in the immersive Deep Space 8K. This interactive experience explores the feeling of connectedness in shared hybrid spaces through sharing something as personal as a heartbeat.

  • NeXus Print: Demonstration and Open Research

    Dai Nippon Printing (JP), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)

    In these demonstrations visitors can explore NeXus Print. NeXus Print is a creative XR platform that enables groups to collaboratively and simultaneously co-create and reimagine environments using generative AI in a live, participatory process.

  • Converge 2

    Patrick Berger (AT), Victor Petro (AT), Raphael Schaumburg-Lippe (AT)

    Converge 2 is the next step in exploring collaborative multiplayer experiences in Deep Space 8K. Extending the original Converge, this iteration expands the concept with refined scenes and experiments with technologies from the SHARESPACE project, aiming to deepen shared presence and collaboration.

  • Walzersymphonie

    Johann Strauss 2025 Vienna (AT), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)

    Walzersymphonie explores how composers can collaborate with generative AI in their creative process. Commissioned for Strauss’s 200th anniversary year, the project blends tradition and technology, with performances at the Opening Night and Futurelab Night of the Ars Electronica Festival 2025.

  • Foolish Flame

    Leon Butler (IE), Peter Power (IE)

    Foolish Flame is a transdisciplinary piece that explores the impact we have on the fraught frontiers of climate change. Through collective experience, visitors become avatars in an evolving landscape of environmental narratives and inherited cultural trauma—confronting the grief associated with a changing natural world.

  • Life Ink Community: Demonstration

    Alexandre Bizri (FR), Akiyuki Kake (JP), Satoshi Miyata (JP), Yoko Shimizu (JP)

    Join the researchers and artists behind Life Ink Community for a daily interactive demo. Participants will be able to experience Life Ink, learn about the wider collaboration, and help shape its future.

  • Bias Card Game

    Chikako Asai (JP), Yasuaki Kakehi (JP)

    The Bias Card Game is a tool to help uncover unconscious biases hidden in our daily lives. Through play, participants reflect on how biases arise in everyday products and services, and explore ways to address them.

  • Inside Futurelab: Overlapping Realities of Machines | Humans | Birds

    Lisa Canaval (AT), Peter Holzkorn (AT), Horst Hörtner (AT), Johannes Pöll (AT), Raphael Schaumburg-Lippe (AT), Anna Weiss (DE/AT)

    The winners of this year’s Futurelab Ideas Expedition critically reflect on and re-negotiate the relationship between humans, machines, and non-human intelligences through speculative and technologically innovative approaches.

Please note: The program for the Ars Electronica Festival 2025 is still in progress.
We are currently preparing all the information for the website and plan to put the full program online in the coming days – stay tuned!
