Art & Science

The basis of the „European Digital Art and Science Network“ is a big manifold network consisting of scientific mentoring institutions (ESA, CERN, ESO and Fraunhofer MEVIS), the Ars Electronica Futurelab and seven European cultural partners (Center for the promotion of science, RS – DIG Gallery, SK – Zaragoza City of Knowledge Foundation, ES – Kapelica Gallery / Kersnikova, SI – GV Art, UK – Laboral, ES – Science Gallery, IE. The EU funded project lasted from 2014 to 2017. The Online Archive of Ars Electronica provides an overview of the individual activities of the network and also delivers information about the network itself, the residency artists and the involved project partners and the jury.

POST CITY Symposium I: Future Mobility – A Challenge for Art & Science, organized by Ars Electronica 2015

POST CITY Symposium I: Future Mobility – A Challenge for Art & Science, organized by Ars Electronica

POST CITY Symposium I Future Mobility – A Challenge for Art & Science Post City, Conference Square 04.09.2015 Speakers: Alexander Mankowsky (DE), Martina Mara (AT), Shunji Yamanaka (JP), Takayuki Furuta (JP), Kilian Kleinschmidt (DE), Ou Ning (CN), Hiroshi Ishii (JP/US) Moderator: Gerfried Stocker (AT) The concept of mobility used in this POST CITY Symposium is very broadly defined. It encompasses a spectacular R&D prototype of a self-driving car, a survey of urban mobility worldwide as well as the mobility of data, and all the millions of people who are now migrating to cities. Alexander Mankowsky (DE) will talk about the automotive R&D going on at Mercedes-Benz, and then Martina Mara (AT) will go into the relationship between human beings and autonomous vehicles. Shunji Yamanaka (JP) and Takayuki Furuta (JP) of the Future Robotics Technology Center will present their latest robots. Hiroshi Ishii (JP/US) will elaborate on global data traffic, and then Ou Ning (CN) and Kilian Kleinschmidt (DE) will deal with the movements of huge numbers of refugees: Ning with the great many Chinese people leaving that country’s rural areas; Kleinschmidt with refugee housing that’s fit for human beings. • Info: A symposium in the context of the European Digital Art & Science Network.
