ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE - 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.

The Alechemists of Art and Science
The exhibition The Alchemists of Art and Science at the Ars Electroncia Center Linz presented both exciting, innovative projects at the intersection of art and science as well as the results of the various residencies within the European Digital Art and Science Network.

Ars Electronica 2016 took “RADICAL ATOMS and the alchemists of our time” as its festival theme, a leitmotiv coined by Hiroshi Ishii that shifts attention to the human beings behind these works and developments. An extensive exhibition spotlighted positions and approaches from both directions—science and art—in which concepts such as art-thinking and creative prototyping and the idea of artistic work as catalyst play major roles. “Artists’ Laboratories” focus on the workplaces of artists and interdisciplinary teams, and thus shed light on the extraordinary ecosystem of art and science collaboration. These exhibits featured jointly produced works that offer deep insights into the concepts and practices of art and science collaborations. The exhibition also featured projects that were the outcome of artist-in-residence programs e.g. by the German artists’ collective Quadrature who spent time at the European Southern Observatory’s research facilities in Chile and Germany.
