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.
Prix Ars Electronica Foren Art & Science, organized by Ars Electronica
The Prix Forums furnish an extraordinary opportunity to festivalgoers—a chance to meet the human beings behind the works of art. Here, you can enjoy up-close-and-personal encounters with the artists honored by the Prix Ars Electronica and the jurors who made the selections. In formal speeches and casual conversations, you can find out more about the works, the ideas behind them, and the challenges the artists responded to. The 2016 theme, “Art & Science,” accentuates that this year, more than ever, the focus is on the interplay and reciprocal impact of science and art. The gathering place of the participating artists and scientists is, once again, the Ursulinensaal at OÖ Kulturquartier—with one exception: The Prix Forum I – Computer Animation / Film / VFX will be staged in CENTRAL. • Info: A symposium in the context of the European Digital Art & Science Network.
