The European Digital Art and Science Network was initiated in 2015 with the aim of connecting the microcosm and macrocosm of science with the digital arts. The network is made up of renowned research institutions (ESA, CERN, and ESO), which collaborate with the Ars Electronica Futurelab to offer residencies for artists. The seven European project partners represent cultural and artistic positions in Europe, which are as strong as they are diverse, in exhibitions, at workshops, and at conferences. The book presents the artistic projects and residencies in powerful images, and contributions by well-known scientists and artists analyze the challenges posed by art and science.

Goodbye Privacy

Hannes Leopoldseder

For 30 years, the interconnections of art, technology and society have been at the center of the activities of the extraordinary organization known as Ars Electronica. Ars Electronica is not only a festival and a prize but has, since 1996, also functioned as a laboratory and a museum. What began in Linz, Austria, in 1979, as a modest experiment in art and local politics now annually sets new standards as an influential forum around the development of new-media art and in the discourse on technological culture. Richly illustrated and with numerous exploratory texts, a comprehensive account of Ars Electronica's numerous projects to date and some entertaining asides, this definitive anniversary publication offers a full retrospective of a project that has consistently focused on developing the future in the present.

Christa Sommerer

Laurent Mignonneau

Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau are two of the most innovative and internationally renowned media artists and researchers. Their work has been called "epoch-making" (Toshiharu Itoh, NTT-ICC Museum, Tokyo) for developing natural and intuitive interfaces and for applying scientific principles such as artificial life, complexity, generative systems and nanotechnologies to their innovative interface design. This monograph represents a comprehensive overview of Sommerer and Mignonneau’s art and research. In addition to providing detailed project descriptions of each interactive artwork, it includes essays and articles by highly recognized media scholars and theoreticians who bring the interactive artworks of Sommerer and Mignonneau in an art and media art history perspective.

"TheCityAsAHouse" is a visually stunning art book that challenges the concept of the private home. In this experiment, a 30-year-old European lives in Tokyo without a private home, relying only on a smartphone. Traditional private spaces such as bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms are abolished, and public spaces become the norm for daily needs. The book explores the implications of the shift of privacy to non-domestic spaces and asks whether a new form of nomadic living is emerging. It also explores the potential for new artistic and architectural possibilities and infrastructure for society. The book includes various types of data collected during the experiment and offers a digital journey through the game experiences to discover new perspectives. "TheCityAsAHouse" invites readers to reflect on the future of society and living without traditional homes, and encourages them to embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. (Verlagsangaben)

Sir Thomas Brassey (1836–1918), later Earl Brassey, was a politician with a particular interest in maritime affairs. He was a keen sailor, and his wife's accounts of their many voyages (also reissued in this series) were bestsellers. He subsequently became a Lord of the Admiralty and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Brassey's Naval Annual was for many years the authoritative survey of worldwide navies. This five-volume survey of the state of the British Navy was published between 1882 and 1883. Brassey was much involved with questions of the modernisation and reform of the Navy, at a time when international relations were marked by a maritime arms race. The books provide much technical detail about the different types of ship and weapons available to the Navy. Volume 1 surveys the development of armoured ships and mastless ships.

Kunst Als Schauplatz Globaler Konflikte

Ars Electronica has been accompanying and analyzing the digital revolution and its manifold implications since 1979. It has consistently focused and focuses on processes and trends at the interface between art, technology, and society. This artistic-scientific research becomes visible in the form of a festival that is organized every year in Linz (Austria). Its five-day program comprises conferences, panel discussions, workshops, exhibitions, performances, interventions, and concerts. The event is planned, organized, and produced in collaboration with international artists and scientists. Each festival addresses a different volatile future issue. This year it is the "Radical Atoms and the Alchemists of the Future." The volume uses images and texts to sketch this year's edition of the Ars Electronica Festival.
