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of Hannes Leopoldseder, one of the founders of Ars Electronica, which comprises a significant collection of digitized historical documents.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: RADICAL ATOMS and the alchemists of our time

What comes after self-driving cars and the Internet of Things? Who are the alchemists of our time and what can they contribute to changing our world? What kinds of constellations and collaborative arrangements are they working in? And what characterizes the locations where their ideas and projects are taking shape? Artists, designers, scientists, engineers, activists and, communicators from all corners of the earth gather in Linz to be part of the extraordinary laboratory that is RADICAL ATOMS and the alchemists of our time. They are teaming up to employ the neurosciences and biotechnology, digital hardware and software, and to bring together old handicraft traditions with 3D printers and laser cutters. Their work between art ad science is not only setting a course for new frontiers, it is also opening up completely new ways of looking at the role of art and science in our society and the interplay of technology and nature. This catalog documents the many inspiring projects that are part of Ars Electronica 2016 and offers an insight into its exciting discussions and unorthodox approaches.
