(Linz, September 3, 2025) PANIC – yes/no is the theme of Ars Electronica 2025, which from today through September 7 will address current crises and the resulting uncertainty. At the center of it all is the role of art in times of upheaval. This will be reflected both in the major exhibition on the festival theme and in the S+T+ARTS Exhibition.

(Linz, September 2, 2025) In view of the climate crisis, wars and the ever-increasing power of tech giants, this year’s Ars Electronica Festival raises the big question PANIC – yes/no. The Kunstuni Campus exhibition responds with the motto “Everything. Always. Open.” Special guest is the Academy of Arts in Sofia.

(Linz, September 1, 2025) In the face of global crises and uncertainty, Ars Electronica 2025 is dedicated to exploring the role of art in times of profound change. This is particularly evident in the Prix Ars Electronica exhibition, which presents eleven media art projects at the Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, along with performances at St. Mary’s Cathedral.

(Linz, August 25, 2025) PANIC – yes/no is the title of this year’s Ars Electronica, which addresses the omnipresent uncertainty in the shadow of numerous crises and shows how art can contribute to overcoming them. Visitors can look forward to a diverse and extensive festival program from September 3 to 7.
