Publications

The Print Archive of Ars Electronica documents publications from 1979 onwards in the fields of Cyber Arts/Prix, Festival and special publications, including audiovisual supplements, museum brochures, updates, and other special editions. All texts and articles are fully searchable and readable. Festival catalogues are available as PDFs in their original layout from 2000 onwards; for earlier years, only the OCR text is preserved, but these are also readable. CyberArts catalogues are complete PDFs, while catalogues prior to 2005 were physically digitized, as the original print data no longer exists.

Since 2024, the archive also contains the estate of Hannes Leopoldseder, one of the founders of Ars Electronica, which comprises a significant collection of digitized historical documents.

Catalogue: Ars Electronica 84 im Rahmen des Internationalen Brucknerfestes Linz

In 1984, the year of George Orwell, two major events made up the corner-stones in the programme of Ars Electronica: Symphony N. 9 by Ludwig van Beethoven performed within the framework of the Linz Cloud of Sound and Isao Tomita's open-air "The Universe" - the history of cosmos told by music, light and laser; an event that in the meantime has been going around the world. Aside from these two major events, the programme embraced multi-media theatre performances, concerts, workshops for electronic art and symposia on the chances and perspectives of micro-electronics for man. In addition, 2019 was defined as the year in which the Orwell-generation will have taken over the responsibility for the society of the future.
