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of Hannes Leopoldseder, one of the founders of Ars Electronica, which comprises a significant collection of digitized historical documents.
Lasershow - Electronic Music Concert
This performance is proposed as the culmination of an on-going collaboration between David Tudor (musician, composer), Lowell Cross (artist, musician, composer) and Carson Jeffries (physicist, sculptor), in which dynamic interactions of audible and visible information are explored and presented on a large scale, via an electronic sound/laser system. In the course of the performance deflected laser images (projected onto a large indoor or outdoor surface) derive from input signals of simultaneously performed electronic sound events. These visual analogs are coherent with the audio, ie., all effects of modulation, chrominance, luminance, colorshifting, and synchronization generate from a shared time base.
