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of Hannes Leopoldseder, one of the founders of Ars Electronica, which comprises a significant collection of digitized historical documents.

Ars Electronica Festival

The Network for Art, Technology and Society.The First 30 Years. Ars Electronica 1979-2009

For thirty years now, art, technology, and society have been fields of interest whose highly complex, vibrant networks of relationships have been at the center of activities at Ars Electronica. Ars Electronica is not only a festival and a prize, but since 1996 it has also been a museum and laboratory. What began inLinz, Austria, in 1979 as an artistic and local political experiment is now setting global standards. Over time, it has become one of the most highly recognized forums for the development of media art and the discourse on technological culture. Richly illustrated and containing numerous texts, a comprehensive register of projects, and entertaining asides, this anniversary publication provides a retrospective of a project that has always focused on developing the future in the present.
