The Ars Electronica Center is the centre of the UNESCO City of Media Arts. Visitors not only test and explore pioneering technologies here, but are also encouraged to take a critical look at them. With its exhibitions and programmes, the Ars Electronica Center has set itself the task of conveying to visitors how new technologies and sciences affect all of our lives. Interactive exhibitions and open labs actively involve the public in this process. Watch artificial intelligence "think", train self-driving cars, programme robots, 3D print and much more! The motto here is: try it out and join in!The Deep Space 8K opens a number of other doors to new content: Two 16 by 9 metre projections on the wall and floor, peppered with a sophisticated people locator, turn the walk-in Deep Space 8K into a unique experience space. A selection of the wide variety of programmes is presented several times a day. Visitors can expect exciting stories and immersive experiences in impressive image quality and colour brilliance from the fields of media art, science, technology, interaction and action. The Ars Electronica Festival takes place every September in Linz and brings together artists, creatives and representatives from science, research, technology and business from all over the world to present their work and their visions of the future. Since 1979, it has provided a stage for eclectic, fascinating and surprising creative works and a unique environment for intensive discussions and inspiring encounters.
