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of Hannes Leopoldseder, one of the founders of Ars Electronica, which comprises a significant collection of digitized historical documents.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: UNPLUGGED - Art as the Scene of Global Conflicts
UNPLUGGED ... means the severed thread, fractured lines of development that had been thought to move only higher and higher, the abyss alongside the routes traveled by the caravans of progress ... UNPLUGGED proceeds from the factuality of a globally networked world from which nobody can withdraw, no matter how distant they are from the dominant US-Europe-Japan capital triad and regardless of how far away the next electrical outlet might be. UNPLUGGED focuses on the blind spots of globalization, those barriers of a mental and geographic nature that make getting connected to and taking part in this process of global networking ("the Net") and the cultural and social models it conveys impossible, illicit or even unwelcome. UNPLUGGED thus also confronts our own inability to enter into a networked arrangement with "the others" that goes beyond the exploitation and preservation of our own spheres of influence.
