Blair Stevenson (FI), Heidi Wiley (DE), Mikael Fock (DK), Michael Eickhoff (DE), Paulien Geerlings (NL), Vanessa Hannesschläger (AT), Alex Verhaest (BE), Taavet Jansen (EE), Airan Berg (AT)
In diesem Panel gehen wir der Frage nach, wie eine neue Art der Annäherung an das Publikum die (digitale) Theaterszene Europas und darüber hinaus in den kommenden Jahren formen wird. Ein neues Verständnis der Konzepte von und Beziehungen zwischen Theater, Publikum, Performance und Raum ist das, was die digitale Transformation des Mediums Theater ausmacht.

Wacom Co., Ltd. (JP); Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
In the Life Ink exhibition, the Ars Electronica Futurelab presents wearable gear for the real-time visualization of brainwave and body signals as digital brush strokes, called Life Ink. The project explores the inner mechanism of creativity in our brain and body to develop a new form of ink. Life Ink is part of the lab's Future Ink research project with Wacom, with workshops and demonstrations on Space Ink, Bio Ink and Life Ink throughout the Festival.

The NeuroRight Arcades
Roel Heremans und sein Team entwerfen fünf interaktive Installationen, um jedes NeuroRight für die Teilnehmer*innen greifbar zu machen. Sie möchten, dass man sich mit offenen Fragen über die Zukunft unserer “NeuroRechte” in einer Welt beschäftigt, in der BCIs allgegenwärtig sind.

Re-Writing the Script Workshop
Denise Hirtenfelder (AT)
The end is a frightening phenomenon for humankind, but our relationship to it has changed. The global North lives in a society of endless opportunities, yet we are stuck in a culture of impermance. The workshop "Re-Writing the Script - A New Relationship to Finitude" urges us to look back at our present as if it was already history.

Nikkei Innovation Lab (JP), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
Dataspace proposes a "newspaper of the future": Here, the Ars Electronica Futurelab and financial newspaper Nikkei's Innovation Lab demonstrate, how art and journalism can help to listen carefully to facts and think deeply rather than just consuming and reacting to news.

Space Ink Experience Workshop
Wacom Co., Ltd., Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
In the Space Ink workshop, visitors can draw with light: Using Wacom pens and tablets, you control luminescent drones to draw in three-dimensional space via the Ars Electronica Futurelab's operating system SwarmOS.

Bio Ink Experience Workshop
Wacom Co., Ltd., Yoko Shimizu (JP)
In the Bio Ink workshop, visitors draw and write with microorganisms: living ink! The data from Wacom pens and tablets is digitally extracted while the artworks morph into beautiful patterns in a new ecosystem of creativity.

Revivification Workshop
Nathan Thompson (AU), Guy Ben-Ary (AU), Yoko Shimizu (JP)
In-Vitro Intelligence (IVI) suggests an intelligent, bioengineered system harbouring living neural networks that function as brains outside of the body. The workshop hosts believe it is inevitable that IVI driven entities will grow more sophisticated and find widespread use in, for instance, their IVI driven “Surrogate Performers”.
