Ars Electronica 2021 - Festival for Art, Technology, and Society

42nd Ars Electronica Festival - for the second time in hybrid format. Themes of the festival: How can an artistic-scientific research make interfaces of technology, art and society visible?

Since 1979 ARS ELECTRONICA has tracked and analyzed the digital revolution and its multiple impacts. The focus has always been on processes and trends combining art, technology, and society. Results of this artistic and scientific research can be seen in the form of an annual festival in Linz, Austria, where a five-day-long program involves conferences, podium discussions, workshops, exhibitions, performances, interventions, and concerts. The festival is planned, organized, and executed in collaboration with artists and scientists from around the world. A variety of controversial futuristic themes are always the center of attention.
