ARS ELECTRONICA CENTER - LINZ

1 - 6 SEPTEMBER 2005

 

HYBRID—living in paradox, the theme of Ars Electronica 2005, examines the implosive tendencies that digital technologies impose on the world, bringing cultures on top of each other and flouting boundaries: national, material, technological and psychological. Hybrid creations and creatures, identities and cultures emerge from recombinations of our three basic codes: numeric, genetic and atomic. Digital media art itself is a hybrid born from the connection of art and technology, accumulating diverse modes of expression and demanding a unique crossover of expertise and knowledge.

Hybrid—no other word is better able to signify this most characteristic conditions of our time.
• The Drivers and Patterns of Hybridization
• Hybrid Economies and Politics
• Hybrid Cultures and Identities
• Hybrid Creatures and Ecologies

These are the four main areas on which the festival will focus in symposia and artists’ lectures, exhibitions and installations, concerts and performances, workshops and seminars, and artistic interventions in public spaces all around the city. Since 1979, Ars Electronica has been dedicated to the critical discussion
of and reflection upon media culture.With its focal point situated at the intersection of art, technology and society, it is above all the endeavor to nurture up-close-and-personal encounters involving artists, designers, philosophers, sociologists, engineers and scientists from all over the world that endow the Festival with its very special character.

This is not solely a matter of the computer as an artistic medium but, above all, of testing how new ideas that are emerging from artistic practice can be applied to science and society in an effort to influence the way in which new technologies are developed, designed and utilized.

Hybrid Creatures and Paradox Machines

Robotics, bionics and bio-engineering are perennial chartbusters on the techno-hype hit parade despite what generally remains a yawning gap between pumped-up pronouncements of what’s upcoming and the tangible results now at hand. Moreover, these concepts are closely connected with archaic ideas of the imitation and improvement of nature. The exhibition showcases the latest ways in which artists are approaching this theme: artistically constructed apparatuses, refreshingly ironic paraphrases and poetically useless machines, linkages among real and virtual manifestations, pseudo-intelligent software agents and rebellious digital characters

CyberArts 2005

Le più affascinanti installazioni e progetti dal Prix Ars Electronica nelle sezioni Interactive Art e Digital Music saranno esposte all'Ok Center for Contemporary Art. La principale attrazione sarà il progetto "Milk Project", per il quale Esther Polak e Ieva Auzina hanno vinto il premio Golden Nica. Il progetto prevede l'utilizzo della tenologia di navigazione satellitare GPS per monitorare i trasporti via mare del latte dalle fattorie della Lituania ai consumatori in Olanda e costruire quindi una mappa digitale che racconta storie e immagini raccolte lungo il percorso di questa bianchissima catena di distribuzione.
