The site of this up-close-and-personal human-robot encounter is Deep Space in the Ars Electronica Center.

The World in 100 Years. AE; Linz

June 16-September 19, 2010
Ars Electronica Center Linz

(Linz / Austria, June 16, 2010) Our longing to know the future is timeless. Just like our burning desire to co-determine and change the course of events transpiring in this world. The exhibition “The World in 100 Years – A Journey through the History of the Future” pays tribute to some great thinkers and activists who were ahead of their times, men and women who have displayed creativity, courage and resourcefulness in their commitment to a vision of the future. We begin by presenting Albert Robida (FR) and Paul Otlet (BE), two prominent visionaries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Then we shift the spotlight to contemporary artists and scientists and their NEXT IDEAS. “The World in 100 Years” will run from June 16 to September 19, 2010 at the Ars Electronica Center Linz.

A.E. at the Festival México 2010; MExico DF

Ars Electronica is present at two of Festival de Mexico’s prime venues: the Laboratorio Arte Alameda, a former church that now provides an extraordinary setting for digital art, and the recently renovated Centro Cultural de España. Ars Electronica’s “dynamic (in)position” exhibition contrasts current trends in digital art with selected works from its extensive archive.

The show runs from March 17 to May 11, 2010, and is Ars Electronica’s most comprehensive engagement ever in Latin America. Major roles in making this happen were played by the Austrian Cultural Forum in Mexico, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Economy, Family and Youth and the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber’s “go international” initiative.
