Once a year, Ars Electronica invites artists, scientists and researchers from all over the world to confront a specific, interdisciplinary theme in the context of speeches, workshops, exhibitions and symposia. Each year's festival is dedicated to a different issue, and the formats of the various approaches to it are the very opposite of sacrosanct. This is a setting for experimentation, evaluation and reinvention, for the search for that which advances the betterment of human society, whereby the provenance of whatever that might be isn't the least bit relevant.
This year's theme is "Radical Atoms and the Alchemists of Our Time."
Expect to see some wacky things like "Drone 100—Spaxels over Linz," a one-time spectacular quadcopter swarm performance that Ars Electronica and Intel will be staging.
