Maihime
Shota Yamauchi (JP)
By personifying technology as a gorilla wearing a human’s skin, and by synchronizing it with the movements of the performer who faces it, this work aims to open up a new perspective on the relationship between people and technology. It asks just what it is that exists before our eyes or beside us, in an age where technology is a medium for many forms of communication.
Listening through the Dead Zones
Jana Winderen (NO)
Listening Through the Dead Zones is a sonic contemplation of the disruptive impact of human activities on subaqueous environments.
State of the ART(ist)
Together with the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ars Electronica intend to offer a space that should enable the expression and documentation of free artistic thought and creativity from around the world.
The Shape of Things to Come
MencheLAB (AT), powered by Max Perutz Labs (AT), a joint venture of the University of Vienna (AT) and the Medical University of Vienna (AT)
All projects paint futuristic scenarios in individual contexts. We all shape the future. Each project will picture a dystopian or utopian scenario of how the specific expertise of the project creator can shape our environment.
Ars Electronica Gardens Exhibition
The extent of Ars Electronica’s collaborative networks became more visible than ever during the pandemic. In 2020 and 2021, the festival turned into a decentralized event, taking place in more than 180 locations on all five continents simultaneously. In 2022 the festival transforms again, and the Ars Electronica Garden Partners are invited to actively contribute their perspectives and projects to the core festival program, taking place in Linz.
Inescapable Entanglement Performance
Clara Francesca (AU/IT), Anne Wichmann (She’s Excited!) (DE), Letizia Artioli (IT), Luca Cacini (IT)
Inescapable Entanglement is a posthumous narration of the emotional reaction to the climate change crisis. We ask “How can technology serve us?” while acknowledging that “Solastalgia” (distress caused by environmental change) is on the rise in societies. At the intersection of performance (Chekhov’s play Uncle Vanya), AR (live climate change metrics), soundscapes and biometric data visualization of physiological responses, we invite audiences to discover possibilities of living on an intrinsically entangled planet.
Sounding Lifeworld
Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture (FI)
Sounding Lifeworld explores what is possible when artificial intelligence method with deep learning model applied to a musical instrument and communicates with the musicians within a flow that is tailored to the variance and diversities of the new sounding lifeworld. It is as if Özcan and Tahiroğlu is thrown into the space of musical universe with continuously transforming cluster of sounds, facing with the challenge of forming a new transitional relationship between each other and the AI-terity.
create your world
From September 7 to 11, the create your world Festival in KEPLER'S GARDENS once again invites the young generation in particular to experiment and try things out. Especially when we look into the future, we have to deal with an increasing variety of challenges. Perhaps, however, we are not thinking about a future in a hundred years, but "only" about tomorrow as a first step.
