AROTIN & SERGHEI’s Infinite Screen reflects contemporary visuality. As an evolutive inter-medial installation, it investigates the idea of the infinite beyond the limits of our screens, the origins of light and the iconography of digital information. Like luminous and transcendent symphonies of light, their intermedial works of art describe both, the macrocosm and the microcosm of our world, using screens as symbols and portals to infinity within constantly evolving parameters of scientific, mythological, philosophical, and architectural frameworks. This book retraces the artist’s supraliminal work-in-progress, from the intermedial paintings of red, green, and blue Light Cells—the DNA of today’s visual language—to the monumental installations at Ars Electronica, the Venice Biennale, the Fondation Beyeler, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, and at Centre Pompidou Paris.

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. Richly illustrated and containing in-depth essays, this book is a companion to the 37th Ars Electronica Festival.00Exhibition: 37th Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, Austria (05.09.09.2019)

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).

Im Jahr 2015 wurde das »European Digital Art and Science Network« mit dem Gedanken ins Leben gerufen, den Mikro- und Makrokosmos der Wissenschaft mit den digitalen Künsten zu verbinden. Teil dieses Netzwerkes sind namhafte wissenschaftliche Forschungsinstitutionen (ESA, CERN und ESO), die gemeinsam mit dem Ars Electronica Futurelab Residencies für Künstlerinnen und Künstler anbieten. Die sieben europäischen Projektpartner repräsentieren in Ausstellungen, Workshops und Konferenzen die ebenso starken wie unterschiedlichen kulturellen und künstlerischen Positionen in Europa. Mit starken Bildern präsentiert das Buch die künstlerischen Projekte und Residencies und analysiert anhand von Beiträgen namhafter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler sowie Künstlerinnen und Künstlern die Herausforderungen von Kunst und Wissenschaft.

Ars Electronica has been accompanying and analyzing the digital revolution and its manifold implications since 1979. It has consistently focused and focuses on processes and trends at the interface between art, technology, and society. This artistic-scientific research becomes visible in the form of a festival that is organized every year in Linz (Austria). Its five-day program comprises conferences, panel discussions, workshops, exhibitions, performances, interventions, and concerts. The event is planned, organized, and produced in collaboration with international artists and scientists. Each festival addresses a different volatile future issue. This year it is the "Radical Atoms and the Alchemists of the Future." The volume uses images and texts to sketch this year's edition of the Ars Electronica Festival.

Much of which makes up our cities today stems from the industrial era. But how will cities and habitats be organized thereafter? What will they look like when more robots than people work in the factories, when objects are intelligently linked with one another, when cars drive by themselves and mail is delivered by drones, when climate change makes itself felt, the new megacities run out of air to breathe and the new ones run out of money? Rethinking urban habitats has already begun, and exciting ideas for new architecture and forms of social organization are emerging throughout the world that can keep pace with the changes taking place in upcoming decades.0Experts from all corners of the earth assemble in Linz to be part of an extraordinary think tank. With a total area of 100,000 square meters, the former mail and package distribution center on the railroad grounds becomes the venue for the festival and a laboratory for the city of the future. 00Exhibition: Ars Electronica The festival 2015, Linz, Austria (03.09-07.09.2015).

Since 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica has served as an interdisciplinary platform for artists using the computer to implement and design projects at the interface of art, technology and society.

In 2009 the Ars Electronica festival celebrated 30 years of bringing the latest developments in digital and electronic media to the public. The festival was held in Linz, Europe's Capital of Culture for that year, and was themed to address the dawn of an age called the Anthropocene-that is, an age in which humankind is capable, through science, of an unprecedented degree of self-manipulation and self-determination through genetic engineering and numerous developments in biotechnology. Contributors to this catalogue for Ars Electronica 2009 include Stephen Downes on "The Cloud and Collaboration," Xiao Qiang on "Constructing Self-Identity in the Connected Age," Juliana Rotich on "African and Environmentalism Online" and Alois Ferscha asking "How Much Technology Can Humankind Bear?" several special projects by the likes of Ryoji Ikeda, Alva Noto and Andres Bosshard, writings marking the festival's anniversary and much more.

Since 1987, the Prix Ars Electronica has served as an interdisciplinary platform for everyone who uses the computer to implement and design creative projects at the interface of art, technology and society. This volume documents Ars Electronica 2008 with a selection of symposia, artist discussions, forums, workshops, concerts, performances and exhibitions.
