The New Real Pavilion

The New Real (UK)

Visitors to Ars Electronica are invited to a pop-up research hub at The New Real Pavilion for conversations on how the latest developments in autonomous and intelligent systems can enable new forms of creative practice and fuel transformative experiences and services for audiences.

Photographic Cues

Keziah MacNeill (UK)

Photographic Cues explores the future of the photographic image in an algorithmic age, and shows us a speculative future in which features of the natural landscape such as the body of water in a Scottish loch are the only remaining form of analogue lens.

Zone System: Sublime Diffusion

Adam Harvey (US/DE)

In this new work, Adam Harvey explores the agency and control inherent in certain ways of creating and encoding data, by transposing labels into different value systems for autonomous vehicles to see the world from the perspective of cyclists, pedestrians, or the natural terrain.

The Overlay

Inés Cámara Leret (ES)

The Overlay is a multi-component artwork that explores construction and artificiality of localized representations of nature. In a multi-channel film, a local hue is fabricated by Spain’s last living colorist and assimilated by the local community in its material form.
