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? #8 (EN): Truths Tomorrow
In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, artificial intelligence, and interconnected systems, the question arises how we can shape a future that places humanity, truth, and ethical responsibility at the forefront. What does a digitized and highly interconnected society look like, where each individual has access to reliable information, and where truth is not merely a subjective construct but a shared understanding?
As a nexus between art, research, and society, the current Ars Electronica Festival delves into exploring new approaches. Art serves as a platform for critical engagement, enabling us to examine and challenge existing perspectives while opening up new ones. Research offers the tools and methodologies needed, from AI-supported fact-checking to innovative educational platforms that foster critical thinking. Society plays a pivotal role as the arbiter of how we navigate the digital landscape, determining the values we uphold and shaping our collective vision of the digital future.
By embracing these multidimensional intersections, we can forge a future that upholds human values, promotes truth, and embraces ethical responsibility in the face of technological progress.
