WE GUIDE YOU: Spotlight Journey on Planet B

We invite you to a thought experiment. Imagine yourselves in a future, in which we have successfully mastered the great challenges of the 21st century. How would we then live (together) and what would shape our society? How did we manage to achieve these goals?

Ars Electronica Award Ceremony

The spotlight is on this year’s winners and their prize-winning projects at the official Award Ceremony of Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nicas and STARTS’ 22 Prizes.

STUDIO(dys)TOPIA – At the Peak of Humankind

Theme Exhibition

The themed exhibition "STUDIO(dys)TOPIA" explores how humanity can put sustainable practices into action and serves as a metaphor for our present, where the concepts of dystopias and utopias find themselves in a changed reality.

ECOLALIA

Klaus Spiess (AT), Ulla Rauter (AT), Emanuel Gollob (AT), Rotraud Kern (AT)

By 2100, one third of biological species and nine tenths of languages will have disappeared. Under the impact of this simultaneous decline in diversity, we design ECOLALIA, a poetry of extinction and disappearance as a deep learning process emanating from the real-time chemo-vibrational conditioning of oral microbes. Audiences visually and aurally attune their speech sounds to the life and death of their fragile oral flora, becoming bilingual co-authors of the post-anthropocene.

JKU LIT @ Ars Electronica Exhibition

Linz Institute of Technology (AT)

To interweave art and science more sustainably, to strive for an open transfer of knowledge with society and to promote a concept of technology that puts people at the centre. This is not only the common goal of the Johannes Kepler University and Ars Electronica, but also the focus of this exhibition, which brings together current projects of the Linz Institute of Technology (LIT).
