S+T+ARTS Prize Exhibition

Uncertainty is not a problem to be solved, rather a condition to be understood. It shapes the way we relate to our environment, to technology, and to each other.

Ars Electronica Features Exhibition

The Ars Electronica Features Exhibition is a platform for partner institutions from around the world to present artistic perspectives and research-based practices that resonate with the festival’s curatorial theme.
