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of Hannes Leopoldseder, one of the founders of Ars Electronica, which comprises a significant collection of digitized historical documents.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: NEXT SEX - Sex in the Age of its Procreative Superfluousness
In the future, who'll be having sex how with whom - and why? Flanked by the distorted images of alluring promise and bitter resistance, the possibilities of the life sciences are provoking in many respects a major modification of the way mankind regards ethical-moral conventions. If sex is stripped of its procreative function and, in return, modern reproductive technology shifts female fertility into the focal point of (patriarchic?) interest; if pop icons orchestrate the media frenzy surrounding their partnerless IVF parenthood , while conservative forces propagate the ideal of the family; if there emerges the prospect of the emancipation of biological genders as well as socially constructed gender identities by means of the utopian possibility of choosing one gender or the other, or even both, then sex and sexus will be relativized, and not least of all in relation to the fictional narratives that coalesce about them. Next Sex meets the obvious need for critical analysis of the social and technological environment in which such prognoses are starting to become operative realities.
