Although panic is not a reliable guide, it often signals an urgent need for new perspectives and approaches to societal issues. Under the motto PANIC – yes/no, this year’s festival sees Ars Electronica Solutions presenting strategies for turning uncertainty, change, and technological complexity into creative productivity and empathic communication.
In the Open Solutions area of POSTCITY, Ars Electronica Solutions provides insights into its own working methods under the title How do we work? It explores the question: “How do we try to impact society through the projects we develop and realize for our clients?” The processes involved—from initial conception to creative development, interactive prototypes, and immersive applications—are revealed. The focus is on such topics as digital transformation, creativity in times of crisis, and collaborative thinking about the future.
Daily talks featuring guests from the arts, science, education, and industry will further explore these themes. These will demonstrate how close collaboration can generate new insights and how creative processes can provide a response to uncertainty and complexity.

Behind the Mission
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT) , ESA (INT)
Discover how ESA’s satellites are launched, operated, and monitored across Europe—from mission control to orbit.
CO-CREATOR
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
The CO-CREATOR invites visitors to rediscover creative processes and, with the help of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, to push the boundaries of art. Complex algorithms generate unique styles and personalized works, opening up new creative dimensions.
Dynamic Earth
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
Awareness of environmental changes is more important than ever. Dynamic Earth invites you to explore our world from a new perspective: Using stunning satellite images, you navigate interactive panels by touch, from Austria and Europe to the entire globe.
Egovatar
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
A playfully and intuitively assembled prompt blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy. The AI DALL·E generates several image drafts based on personal characteristics, producing a digital twin—an Egovatar—that reflects different facets of one’s own identity.
Immerse Yourself in the Past
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
As one of the main installations in the Past section of the LABOUR LAB, this virtual reality experience invites visitors to immerse themselves in the working world of the 19th century.
Mini Deep Space
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
The Mini Deep Space is a 1:20 scale model of the Deep Space by Ars Electronica. The space offers an intense communal experience and invites playful interaction.
Rapid Evolution
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
Climate change is changing everything, including the animal world. Our native birds are struggling with heat, drought, and the loss of their habitat. Only those who adapt quickly have a chance of survival. We humans call this “rapid evolution”.
Rotunda – Music of Encounters
Rupert Huber (AT) , Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
Music comes to life between people. That is the guiding principle of the musician, composer and music artist Rupert Huber. He has created a piece of music in dialogue with Ars Electronica Solutions especially for the Rotunda of the Pinakothek der Moderne, which is performed by the museum’s visitors. It is their movements that trigger the melodic sequences of the composition, creating the Music of Encounters.
The Mapping of Upper Austria
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT)
To make complex environmental and climate issues understandable, tangible, and visible, new forms of communication are needed. This was exactly the goal in developing The Mapping of Upper Austria—the Gigapixel Viewer.
The Vienna Geospace Hub presents the Green Transformation Information Factory
The Vienna Geospace Hub (AT), Green Transformation Information Factory (INT)
The Vienna Geospace Hub innovation lab promotes the use of satellite data to support the development of climate-neutral and resilient cities. On display is the Austrian GTIF, an initiative by the European Space Agency (ESA). GTIF provides cities, industry, and civil society with information-based tools to support the transition to a climate-neutral future.
What does a satellite hear?
Ars Electronica Solutions (AT), Rupert Huber (AT)
This installation transforms Earth Observation data into a poetic soundscape, offering a new perspective on the city—based on Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite data from Linz.
