With numerous illustrations and texts by the artists and members of the jury, the book presents the award-winning works of the Prix Ars Electronica 2015.

The winners are awarded the coveted Golden Nica statuette, the most important distinction for creativity and pioneering spirit in the area of digital media. International experts evaluate the thousands of works submitted in the categories "Computer Animation / Film / VFX," "Hybrid Art," "Digital Musics & Sound Art," "[the next idea] voestalpine Art and Technology Grant," and the youth competition "u19-CREATE YOUR WORLD." The Golden Nica for the category "Pioneers of Media Art" has now been awarded for the second time. Exhibition: Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, Austria (03.09-07.09.2015).

The Prix Ars Electronica is the most tradition-steeped media art competition in the world. Announced annually since 1987, because of its continuity and the large number and quality of the submissions it is considered a trend barometer of global media art. With numerous images, texts, and statements by the jury, the book assembles those works that were awarded prizes in 2016 in the categories of Computer Animation / Film / VFX, Digital Communities, Interactive Art, and u19--Create Your World. The volume also contains a "best of" list of the Starts Prize awarded for the first time by the European Commission within the scope of Prix Ars Electronica. The highly remunerated competition focused on innovative projects at the interface between science, technology, and art.

Seit 1979 begleitet und analysiert die Ars Electronica die digitale Revolution und ihre mannigfaltigen Auswirkungen. Im Fokus standen und stehen dabei stets Prozesse und Trends an der Schnittstelle von Kunst, Technologie und Gesellschaft. Sichtbar wird diese künstlerisch-wissenschaftliche Recherche in Gestalt eines alljährlich in Linz ausgerichteten Festivals, dessen fünftägiges Programm Konferenzen, Podiumsdiskussionen, Workshops, Ausstellungen, Performances, Interventionen und Konzerte umfasst. Geplant, organisiert und umgesetzt wird das Festival gemeinsam mit internationalen Künstlern und Wissenschaftlern. Im Fokus stehen dabei stets andere brisante Zukunftsthemen. Reich bebildert und mit ausführlichen Texten bestückt, begleitet das Buch das 37. Ars Electronica Festival.

Out of all of the media art competitions, the Prix Ars Electronica has the richest tradition in the world. Awarded every year since 1987, the competition is considered a barometer of trends in global media art, thanks to its consistency and the large number of high-quality submissions it receives. Containing many pictures and texts, as well as statements by the jury, the book assembles the artworks recognized in 2018 in the categories of Computer Animation, Digital Communities, Interactive Art+, and u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD. In addition, the publication again features a “best-of” selection of works submitted to the European Commission’s STARTS Prize competition. This highly remunerated competition focuses on innovative projects that deal with a combination of science, technology, and art (= Science, Technology and ARTS). Festival dates: Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, September 6–10, 2018 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.

Im Mittelpunkt von Ars Electronica 2013 stehen eines der größten Geheimnisse der Wissenschaft und eine der größten technischen Herausforderungen: Erinnerung und ihre Speicherung. Was ist Erinnerung, wie entsteht Gedächtnis und wie geht es verloren? In der Natur, in der Technologie, in der Zukunft. Seit jeher spekuliert jede Generation darüber, wie die jeweils nachfolgende wohl einst über sie denken wird. Doch welche Faktoren entscheiden am Ende wirklich darüber, was und wie wir uns erinnern? Welche Rolle spielt Erinnerung für jeden von uns, für unsere Familien, unsere Gesellschaft, ja für uns als Menschheit insgesamt? Und was ist Erinnerung überhaupt? Total Recall begibt sich auf die Suche nach dem perfekten Gedächtnis, befragt Hirnforscher und Computerwissenschaftler, Künstler und Philosophen nach ihren Zugängen, neuesten Erkenntnissen und Interpretationen, nach ihren Plänen und Visionen für eine Zukunft, in der wir alles speichern können. Ars Electronica Festival, Linz 5.–9.9.2013
