Ars Electronica Festival Podcast
This year's Ars Electronica takes place from 4 to 8 September under the title 'HOPE - who will turn the tide'. With this motto, the festival for art, technology and society aims to highlight the main driving force for positive change: people whose activities give cause for optimism. For the Ö1-produced podcast series, Hannah Balber meets artists, researchers, developers, activists and entrepreneurs from all over the world who talk about their inspirations, successes, failures, working with new technologies and the irrepressible curiosity to discover new possibilities.
During the festival, exhibitions, concerts, performances, screenings, conferences and workshops will be organised at several locations in Linz. Once again, the main venue is POSTCITY, a former postal distribution centre destined for demolition. Come by and get inspired!

Who Owns the Truth? #2 (EN): Art in the Lab
In line with the long-standing tradition of Ars Electronica to bring together art and science, 'Art as Laboratory' offers a multidimensional exploration of the concept of truth. The convergence of art, journalism, and science provides a broad spectrum for investigating our world and the truths it holds. Research plays a crucial role in revealing truths about the world. At the same time, awareness of the potential fallibility and misuse of science is essential, particularly regarding the spread of misinformation masquerading as truths. Artistic practices that depict, challenge, and reinterpret truth not only raise the question of whether truth can be subjective but also explore to what extent art serves as a tool for discovering and questioning 'truth'.
