What comes after self-driving cars and the internet of things? And how can the disembodied world of digital data be amalgamated with the physical world of our bodies? The 2016 Ars Electronica Festival is showcasing a new generation of scientists and creative engineers. While the world still has its hands full dealing with the Digital Revolution and the cultural and social transformations and challenges that it’s brought forth, these innovators have already set a course for new frontiers. They’re interconnecting bits and atoms in elementary form, fabricating new high-tech materials from natural substances, teaming up with artists and designers, employing the neurosciences and biotechnology, robotics, digital hardware & software, and bringing together old handicrafts traditions with 3-D printers and laser cutters. They’re tinkering, inventing, and asking: What rituals will we need to prepare for all these transitions?

delineated by the science of their time and culture. They were in search of the elixir of immortality, aimed to create artificial life, and sought the universal panacea to cure all diseases. The hope that their arts might be the key to transforming lead into gold made them not only sought-after and well-paid specialists but also, often, despised and persecuted social outsiders. Nevertheless, one thing’s for sure: alchemists played a decisive role in the emergence of the modern sciences.

Turning Lead into Gold?

Radical Atoms

The roots of alchemy go far back and are highly revealing. Alchemists—the term that’s historically been used to characterize them— transcended the narrow confines that were

This year’s festival focal point—one that’s as exciting as it is challenging for art, technology and society—has been developed in close cooperation with Hiroshi Ishii of the MIT Media

The Nexus of Art, Technology and Society This year’s festival theme—RADICAL ATOMS and the alchemists of our time—focuses on the very interesting area of interplay among art, technology and science. Unorthodox approaches and inspiring projects are paving the way to new developments and opening up totally new ways of looking at the interrelationship of art and science in our society.

Lab, where his Tangible Media Group has done trailblazing work and made a name for itself worldwide. The emergence of Radical Atoms constitutes a quantum leap in the merger of the digital and physical domains.

The Alchemists of Our Time In addition to scrutinizing technological prototypes, we’ll also shed light on the people behind them. Who are these modern alchemists who are conjuring up what’s on the horizon? What drives them to do what they do, in what constellations and cooperative arrangements do they work, and in what sorts of settings are their ideas and projects originating? Artist Labs will spotlight these interdisciplinary and international teams and the entire range of their hybrid approaches to work.

The POSTCITY Location Sufficient square footage was the first ingredient necessary to stage this wideranging artistic encounter. So, for the second year in a row, the main venue will be POSTCITY, the 80,000 m2 former Postal Service logistics facility featuring infrastructure—for instance,

12-meter-tall spiral packet chutes—that’s being repurposed and artistically integrated into the program.

Festival in the City There are many other locations hosting this year’s extraordinarily diverse lineup. Debuting as a festival venue is the new campus of Anton Bruckner Private University for Music, Acting and Dance. The Ars Electronica Center will present several major exhibitions and, of course, ultra-high-resolution videos in Deep Space 8K. CyberArts, the showcase of works singled out for recognition by the Prix Ars Electronica, is running, as always, at the OK Center for Contemporary Art. A relatively recent addition to the location lineup is the Central, a former first-run cinema where the Ars Electronica Animation Festival is being screened. Linz Art University’s building located right on Hauptplatz (Linz’s Main Square), is the site of the Campus exhibition featuring interesting work being done at a guest institution of higher learning. Rounding out the list of festival locations are Mariendom (St. Mary’s Cathedral), LENTOS Art Museum, and Brucknerhaus.

10 AM–7:30 PM

Who are the alchemists of our time and what motivates them? An extensive exhibition in POSTCITY focuses on a young generation of artists, scientists and creative engineers. These modern-day alchemists take unconventional approaches: hybrid working methods, interdis ciplinary networking, interlinking art and science. Nearby, the STARTS Labs showcase projects singled out for recognition by the STARTS—Prize recently launched by the European Commission to honor innovative work at the nexus of science, technology and art.

With its focus on interdisciplinary collaboration between art and science, this exhibition dovetails nicely with the extensive program of the Digital Art and Science Network. The Festival is showcasing a variety of works produced in conjunction with these residencies and others at the interface of art and science.

A showcase of excellence of contemporary media art, the CyberArts exhibition features this year’s Prix Ars Electronica prizewinners. The world’s most coveted prize honoring creativity and pioneering spirit in media art has been awarded annually since 1987. Thousands of artists from throughout the world submit their work for prize consideration;

the recipients are selected by juries of international experts. In addition to prize money, a Golden Nica statuette will be bestowed on each winner at a gala event on Friday, September 9th, in the Brucknerhaus. Their prizewinning projects will be on display in the CyberArts show at the OK Center for Contemporary Art.

Big Concert Night 2016 SUN 11. 9. 8 PM–12:15 AM (Open Doors: 7:30 PM) POSTCITY, Ground Floor (Train Hall)

The Big Concert Night’s program consists of extraordinary artistic experiments ranging from classical orchestral music to industrial noise and granular synthesis, world premieres of works by up-and-coming young composers as well as masterpieces of the 20th-century avant-garde. The orchestral concerts are combined with performances by digital composers and musicians. All pieces are accompanied by artistic visualizations. Once again this year, the locations include the Train Hall of the former Postal Service logistics facility, a visually as well as acoustically amazing setting that brings out the best of sounds across the stylistic spectrum.

to browse and buy at the Organic Farmers Market that debuted last year and elicited such a positive response that it’s being reprised. The big question: are quality foodstuffs our modern-day gold and organic farmers today’s alchemists? The Mini Maker Faire Linz is being staged in conjunction with the u19—CREATE YOUR WOLRD Festival. It consists of open labs, events and exhibitions that invite lateral thinkers and tinkerers, youngsters who are thirsty for knowledge and hungry for experience, to immerse themselves in models for alternative ways of life. The watchwords: open it up, look inside, take it apart, and put it back together again!

Who’s determining how the next generation will live in 20 years? What technologies will we develop? In what ways will our society change? How can artistic ideas benefit us? Young festivalgoers can seek and find innovative approaches to answers at u19—CREATE YOUR WOLRD. This year’s 5th “Future Festival of the Next Generation”

aims to do nothing less than contribute to saving the world. But let’s face it: this act of redemption can succeed only when a lot of people join in. In the midst of POSTCITY, artists, programmers and tinkerers from throughout Austria are convening in a festival village to show how they envision the world of tomorrow.

The theme symposia too are focusing on the alchemists of our time. Who are the people who are conjuring up what’s on the horizon, in what constellations and cooperative arrangements do they work, and in what sorts of settings are their ideas and projects originating? A series of symposia focuses on the festival theme. The Future Innovators Summit is a conclave at which seasoned experts, up-and-coming entrepreneurs and social activists, engineers and scientists, artists and designers get together to exchange insights and skills and to inspire one another.

Underworld in the POSTCITY THU 8. 9.–MON 12. 9. 10 AM–7:30 PM POSTCITY, Basement

Deep in catacombs of POSTCITY, there’s a labyrinth of passageways, The Maze, a fallout shelter with room for 3,000 people, and a former storeroom for undeliverable parcels. These spaces—their extrovertedness, their aesthetics— evoke animated scenes in computer games. Now, the 2016 Ars Electronica Festival is using them as a setting for an intriguingly composed show of audiovisual works in which space is an essential magnitude.

Learn to pilot multi-rotor mini-copters and get a feel for what they’re capable of. Display your skills executing slick maneuvers through a tricky obstacle course. Along the way, you’ll find out a lot of interesting stuff about how these drones are being used in science, the military, art and entertainment.

6:30 PM

Kunstuniversität Linz, Hauptplatz 8 PM Campus Opening: Tsinghua University POSTCITY—Opening Event 9 PM

Ars Electronica opens with a performance by sound artist FM Einheit (DE) that reinterprets the ancient biblical warning: Mene, Mene, Tekel, upharsin. Artists collective Silk Fluegge (AT) will be the first act on the Main Stage with MYGRATION—beget, a dance performance about origins, identity and belonging. In Roboaction(s) A1 K1, Dragan Ilić (RS/ US) has himself strapped to a robotic arm and then creates graphic compositions via the robot’s movements. Practices of Everyday Life | Cooking by Navid Navab (CA) is a synaesthetic audiovisual performance about a cook in a specially prepared kitchen setup. Playing the Kankisenthizer, an instrument that uses fans to generate both sounds and light, Ei Wada (JP) demonstrates the possibilities of unconventional musical production. The festivities will also include an unconventional performance/intervention by XBlade Allstars get Radical, one of the world’s most successful drone racer teams. These tiny airborne hotrods achieve speeds in excess of 100 km/h. Exploded View (DE/ MX) complements the musical portion of the evening with a sound somewhere between Krautrock, Dub and political discourse. Then, Planningtorock (UK) uses Pop and dance music as interference receiver. In the wee hours, Dasha Rush (RU) and Russian video artist Stanislav Glazow aka Licht Pfad (RU) collaborate in a performance entitled ANTARCTIC TAKT.

The decommissioned postal service logistic center’s spiral packet chutes—custom-made for the facility in the 1980s—invite festivalgoers to decipher the mysterious inscription. FM Einheit (DE), a musician, composer and sound artist, will impart oscillations to this infrastructure that echo the drone, whooshing, and thuds that reverberated through this huge space for so many years when, on a 24/7 basis, millions of packets were routed here. FM Einheit’s sound performance stages this concatenation of logistics and mass processing as a metaphor for a society on a consumption binge: “The results of this frenzy are spewed forth by the spiral packet chutes, and spectators can number and weigh them and judge for themselves whether they’re to be found wanting.”

“Imagine, a space starts to talk to you, but not with words and strings of meaning, instead in changing states and moods (by sound), you can sit, lay down or walk in it.” The spatial configuration of the Train Hall in POSTCITY makes it an extraordinary setting for sensory perceptions within the context of everyday experience. Especially for this archi tecture, Sam Auinger (AT/DE) has created a cycle of eight spatial concerts that he together with Hannes Strobl (AT/DE) will premiere over the course of the festival. A series of concerts of varying duration and staged at different times during the festival’s run engenders on site a tonal space that plays with visitors’ perception of time and the emotional perceptibility of the space.

50th Anniversary of JKU—River of Knowledge by Salvatore Vanasco (IT/DE) SAT 10. 9. from 7:30 PM Donaupark

“Only what we dream is what we truly are, because all the rest, having been realized, belongs to the world and to everyone.” (Fernando Pessoa)

Linz’s Johannes Kepler University, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, provides the theme for the 2016 Linzer Klangwolke. River of Knowledge treats the importance of education and the social significance of lifelong learning. Current and historical events will be depicted as imposing scenic images on the Danube and aloft above Donaupark along its south bank, and thus span a dramatic arc from the past to the future. Spectators will be able to experience and feel technological developments the likes of which manifest themselves on a daily basis at JKU. The aim is to show how universities can nurture society, and what impact the visions of science have on our lives.

In addition to sustainably produced foodstuffs, the focus here is on alternative future agricultural scenarios in which technological innovations play an essential role. Market visitors can buy organic foodstuffs directly from the producers and taste-test a whole smorgasbord of delicacies. And this is also the perfect place to engage in informative conversations about healthy, sustainable nutrition.

MON 12. 9. Music Monday

The highlight of the final day of the festival features encounters of both a sensory as well as intellectual nature with electronic and experimental music. Accompanied by musician/musicologist Werner Jauk (AT), festivalgoers will enjoy close-up contacts with creative artists as well as first-hand insights into the music and tonal worlds conjured up at the festival. A brief guided tour of the brand-new studios at Anton Bruckner University offers an impression of the excellent infrastructure available here for purposes of study, research and production. Anton Bruckner University can be easily reached via shuttle bus from POSTCITY and the Ars Electronica Center. (see p. 23) .

Conference: Participation and Political Socialization in the Age of New Media Produced jointly by the Pädagogische Hochschule Oberösterreich (teachers college), Arbeiterkammer Oberösterreich (chamber of labor) and Ars Electronica THU 8. 9. FRI 9. 9. POSTCITY

1 –7:30 PM 9 AM–2 PM

For several years now, new social media have been changing how people communicate and thus our everyday life. Especially among young people, these media now constitute a central part of their lived reality. Even our political discourse is increasingly conducted via Facebook, Twitter and similar platforms, which thus open up new forms of sociopolitical participation and socialization. The conference will confront this new reality and the challenges accompanying it, and scrutinize the impact of this development on political education. Speakers: Peter Filzmaier (AT), Peter Repczuk & Anja Engelbrechtslehner, Elisabeth Wehling (University of California at Berkely), Meral AkinHecke (Digital Champion Austria), Simon Wesp (U-19 „Kameleon.ws“), Peter Bruckmüller (SPECTRA), Joachim Rathke (Schauspieler, Regisseur), Thomas Hellmuth (Universität Wien/AT), Beate Großegger (Institut für Jugendkulturforschung/AT).

Developed in cooperation with MIT Media Lab Professor Hiroshi Ishii (US/JP), this exhibition is arrayed along a thematic and chronological axis. It demonstrates how ideas derived from art can lead to new technological concepts. Visionary examples are provided by the work Hiroshi Ishii’s Tangible Media Group was already doing in 1999 in conjunction with their musicBottles. inForm (2013) registers gesticulations and sets actual objects into motion. bioLogic (2015) is a sort of second skin that reacts to movement. The exhibition, which also features projects by Carlo Ratti (IT), Joachim Sauter (DE) and the Ars Electronica Futurelab, will continue to run after the festival at the Ars Electronica Center, where it dovetails nicely with the extensive program of the Digital Art and Science Network, an EU-subsidized alliance that’s attracting more and more prestigious scientific organizations. Artist-in-residence programs have already been conducted with CERN—the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the European Southern Observatory and the European Space Agency. The Festival is showcasing works produced in conjunction with these residencies. This project is presented in the framework of the European Digital Art and Science Network and co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union.

10 AM–8 PM 10 AM–11 PM 10 AM–9:30 PM 10 AM–9 PM 10 AM–7 PM

During the festival, international artists will have the opportunity to take advantage of the jumbo-format projection surfaces and state-ofthe-art, ultra-high-resolution technology in Deep Space 8K to present their interactive performances, playful interventions and fascinating worlds of imagery. There are things happening on the musical level here too—excellent musicians working together with visual artists to engender perfectly coordinated visual and tonal worlds, some of which react to the movements and voices of the performers in real time. The works take festivalgoers along on an audiovisual journey of discovery to the alchemists of our time, or present them with the opportunity to employ laser tracking to intervene in the performance. Elaborate 3-D animated films deliver insights into microscopic worlds, show orbiting satellites executing pirouettes with space junk, or enable audience members to see and hear radiation data from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear catastrophe.

Even if alchemy nowadays has more or less been amalgamated into the modern sciences, the figurative meaning that adheres to that old word still has something dark, forbidden, unorthodox about it. Alchemists are themselves something of an amalgam: scientist, prophet, quack, polymath, trailblazer, do-gooder and nerd. So, who are we actually talking about here? Festival-goers visiting the LabOratorium won’t be receiving any prefab answers; instead, they’ll

a festival fixture for many years now. It has become an important living art space and comfortable lounge, so this year, 2016, The Mobile Ö1 Atelier is located at the entrance to the festival’s main quarter POSTCITY. In 2016 The Ö1 Mobile Atelier is once again designed by pneumocell, by the Vienna-based architect Thomas Herzig (AT). pneumocell is an assembly kit consisting of inflatable building elements which can be quickly connected in numerous combinations to form complete constructions. Facing the bright, semi-transparent pavilion reminiscent of biological cell structures. On the inside The Mobile Ö1 Atelier is both an information point and a project exhibition venue throughout the festival. An acoustic project can be experienced in The Mobile Ö1 Atelier: Expansion of the Universe by composer Rudolf Wakolbinger (AT). By converting scientific data into music, Wakolbinger acoustically illustrates the history of the universe. The composition’s duration of 13.8 minutes reflects the 13.8 billion years from the Big Bang until now. The corresponding soundinstallation for Expansion of the Universe is built as a maker project using 216 loudspeakers.

Participatory Exhibits: Ars Wild Card+, Beehive, Radwende and Kydo THU 8. 9. – MON 12. 9. 10 AM – 7:30 PM POSTCITY

Participation heads the agenda! Ars Wild Card+ is a smartphone application that quietly asks festivalgoers to contribute content. Via smartphone, your photographs can become works of art, performances and online projects outfitted with a viewer comment option. All contributions will be displayed on a website; plus, the Ars Wild Cards+ can be printed out at the festival and mailed. The Beehive experiment is another way for festivalgoers to use a smartphone to document happenings from the audience’s point of view. The petition tool Radwende aims to improve the cycling infrastructure by tracking the routes of cyclists and turning them into art - and real currency! Another project that invites festivalgoers online and offline to get involved is Kydo (@hellokydo), a semi-fictional character who observes the festival and engages in discussions via Twitter on art, society and artificial intelligence.

A pendulum swings through a space. A computer traces the pendulum’s position and—in a computer model—embeds it into a mathematical world where it collides and interacts with objects. This interaction between the pendulum and its mathematical surroundings provides the source for a three-dimensional soundscape.

Women in Media Arts THU 8. 9.–MON 12. 9. 10 AM – 7:30 PM POSTCITY, STARTS Labs

The Women in Media Arts exhibition invites festivalgoers to query the first comprehensive database dedicated exclusively to women working in these genres. It includes all women who have made a mark on the 36-year history of Ars Electronica, and is designed to serve as an active research platform for artists, curators, scholars, scientists, and anyone else interested in finding out more about female practitioners in the media arts. This database lodges no claim to completeness; it merely reflects information stored in the Ars Electronica Archive.

u19—CREATE YOUR WORLD Future Festival of the Next Generation THU 8. 9.–MON 12. 9. 10 AM–7:30 PM POSTCITY, u19—CREATE YOUR WORLD

Saving the World, Playfully What does it mean to save the world? Saving the world means transforming what has become a place that is hostile to life into a thoroughly livable habitat. And saving the world also means conserving and caring for it as a place worth living in, where it’s already Paradise on Earth. Nothing less than contributing to saving the world was the mission assigned to u19-CREATE YOUR WORLD when the Future Festival of the Next Generation was launched in 2011. After all, we can succeed in saving the world—and we will succeed, make no mistake about that—if each and every one of us pitches in. Play Instead of Being Afraid! And consider this: the less grimness and solemnity

we display and the less we are paralyzed by fear that the sky is falling, the easier it will be to achieve this! Playfully—that’s our motto, and it’s just what the doctor ordered! The more enjoyably we go about changing the world to make it better, more diverse and more sustainable, the more meaningful, more inspiring and more rewarding it is. Meaningful, inspiring and rewarding are also the precise attributes to describe u19-CREATE YOUR WORLD’s 2016 program. The Future Festival of the Next Generation offers an up-close-andpersonal introduction to lots of amazing stuff that’s happening right now and what will be emerging in the near future. As a visitor, you can join in, go for a test drive on the leading edge, get fired up, learn something new, or maybe just check out what your peers are up to.
