00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.039
 So, dear students, dear guests, dear colleagues, please come here, there's so much space between

1
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:18.039
 us.

2
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.839
 Please come here, some steps, come here.

3
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.399
 Yes, to the camera.

4
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:24.399
 Wonderful.

5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:25.120
 A very warm welcome to all of you. Yes, to the camera. Wonderful.

6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:27.640
 A very warm welcome to all of you.

7
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:31.640
 It's Ars Campus, it's Ars Electronica 2026,

8
00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:34.640
 and it's the best time in the year in Linz,

9
00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:38.960
 and we all have fun with the project,

10
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.399
 with the presentations, and with the time we have above us.

11
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.700
 A very warm welcome and a special welcome to the former rector, my colleague, who is now whistling, Reinhard Kanani.

12
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:53.200
 It's great that you are here.

13
00:00:53.780 --> 00:00:54.659
 A very warm welcome.

14
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.459
 And also a very warm welcome to Margot Nassal,

15
00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:10.000
 the Director of Cultural Affairs and the Chief of the Cultural Department.

16
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.000
 Thank you that you are here. A very warm welcome to Margot Nassal.

17
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:27.920
 We are here at our University, at the University of Arts in Linz, Art and Design. And we are cooperating since a couple of years,

18
00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:31.359
 many, many years with the Ars Electronica Festival.

19
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.420
 And it's great that we can do this cooperation.

20
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.819
 And I would like to thank and especially thank

21
00:01:39.819 --> 00:01:43.400
 Gerfried Stocker and the whole team. It's a great team.

22
00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:46.159
 Thank you very much for the cooperation.

23
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.359
 It wouldn't work and it wouldn't be this great festival

24
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.799
 without your great, great performance.

25
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.200
 Till...

26
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.640
 Yes, I speak like Mr. Trump.

27
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.640
 So, without your great performance.

28
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:12.000
 So, it's very easy to speak like some politicians in USA because it's so simple language that

29
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:29.000
 they are dealing with, so that's my kind of speaking English, so I'm very sorry. We have also here the two curators, Manuela Naveau and Hess-John.

30
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:34.000
 A very warm welcome to both of you and many thanks for all of you

31
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:40.000
 and about the presentations and to all the team you are working together.

32
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:47.199
 We have really a good and a perfect team, not to say a great team, it's a great team, it's a great team.

33
00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:48.300
 So thank you.

34
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:59.780
 We have the Ars Electronica with the title Future Begins Negotiating Humanity

35
00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:08.240
 and we ask the questions, what does being human mean in times of this, in times of crisis?

36
00:03:08.979 --> 00:03:15.699
 And what does future mean to all of us and especially for young artists?

37
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.780
 Who decides about what it means?

38
00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:23.800
 And at what price are we bargaining away our humanity?

39
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:32.020
 So these are very important questions and there is not one answer.

40
00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:36.180
 There are many answers in presentations which we can see now.

41
00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:49.199
 We have about 200 works by our students, by University of Arts and Design Lins students from the departments of Fine Arts, Design and Technology,

42
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.039
 Industrial Design, Interface Cultures,

43
00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:56.340
 the PhD program, Sculptural Concepts and Ceramics,

44
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.919
 Post-Digital Loosery Space and Design Strategies,

45
00:04:00.139 --> 00:04:03.000
 Textile Art Design, Visual Communication,

46
00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:08.000
 Time-Based Media, Time-based media, time-based and interactive media. Thank you

47
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.000
 all the students and all the teachers. Thank you.

48
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.000
 And we have our dear guests. We have about

49
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.740
 45 universities in the festival.

50
00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:44.519
 We have here at our university 21 guest universities, visiting universities from China, from Hong Kong, from Berlin, from Kyoto, from Weimar, Estonia, Poland, Qatar, Taipei, and all between.

51
00:04:45.060 --> 00:04:46.980
 So thank you very much for coming.

52
00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:48.639
 It's great that you are here.

53
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:56.120
 Thank you.

54
00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:02.660
 I think Hess and Manu will tell you what you can see and give you an overview over the

55
00:05:02.660 --> 00:05:07.199
 program. see and give you an overview of the over the program but it's important to tell you that we

56
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:14.560
 have sound campus here we have both buildings here at the middle and at the center of linz and we

57
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:27.040
 have also the dome gas our building nearby and there is interface cultures because I mentioned it because we didn't show it at our

58
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:37.500
 at our press round trip this morning but it's very very good to go there and to see what young

59
00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:48.879
 students students in their first second second year are present presenting. And we have, and it's very important, at the main square,

60
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:56.160
 flood the zone with courage or courage, however you would like to spell it, in cooperation with

61
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:05.000
 the Ars Electronica Center, but also in cooperation with partners like EdTech Austria and 52.

62
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:13.000
 And we have a festival center here at our place gallery,

63
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.399
 so everybody who needs tickets, who needs information,

64
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.600
 can also come here at the university and can get this information

65
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.600
 and can get these services.

66
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:28.000
 So we hope that people come to us who wouldn't have come without these services.

67
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:36.000
 So we like to have the service center here and perhaps it is a model for the next years.

68
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:48.360
 So we deal with humanity and we are discussing humanity and we have a sense of reality.

69
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:56.879
 When you look at TV, at social media, you see a lot of reality there,

70
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.620
 but there is a sense of possibility.

71
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:08.480
 We are discussing not only reality, the now, we are discussing the future, we are

72
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:18.740
 discussing our possibilities and this makes us kind of free but it's a word which is used so

73
00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:28.240
 often but it is a kind of freedom we get in discussing with art, with design, with research and with

74
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.019
 all of you, the colleagues and teachers and the students.

75
00:07:32.019 --> 00:07:37.779
 So thank you very much that you are here and have a great time here at our university.

76
00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:48.720
 Thank you. So as usual, I can keep my part super short.

77
00:07:49.259 --> 00:07:54.160
 So probably at least for an hour, I should go on and say thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

78
00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:01.019
 I mean, you said how important it is for the university and how wonderful to collaborate with Ars Electronica.

79
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.220
 But I can just give it back.

80
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.839
 It's one of the best parts of us

81
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:13.699
 electronica festival it's 24 years i think since we started so reinhard kanner near the former

82
00:08:13.699 --> 00:08:20.720
 rector knows how difficult it was to get it started but to see now the huge number of departments the

83
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:25.660
 students from your university that are participating and then how you know

84
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.060
 wonderful and warmly you are welcoming and hosting all these guest universities.

85
00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:36.940
 This is really I think the most energetic and vital part of the festival all the

86
00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:40.799
 communications that are going on so I can only ask you know all the

87
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.240
 students from here and in particular from abroad use this time

88
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:49.899
 really to come together to talk to each other to share experiences because this

89
00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:55.679
 is what the festival is about and thank you very much for making this possible

90
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.159
 So now it's on us.

91
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:13.139
 I would like to start first of all to give you an overview what you can see.

92
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:21.899
 The students from all these different departments that Brigitte already mentioned. Here in Hauptplatz 6 we have two floors.

93
00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:27.000
 So we have just a ground floor and we have the floor on minus two.

94
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.179
 This is here.

95
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.860
 Okay, so let's not forget the lovely Inenhof with the Sound Campus,

96
00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:42.639
 which the Sound Campus team has amazingly prepared.

97
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.000
 Please, a round of applause for them.

98
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:53.000
 There will be performances, sound works, music, DJ, dancing.

99
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.000
 So please do come tonight and tomorrow and Thursday night.

100
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.899
 And when you move then here from Hauptplatz 6 from the sound campus, have a look on the worm that is hanging here.

101
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:07.659
 It's interactive.

102
00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:11.299
 You can actually touch here the tree or this kind of predefined places

103
00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:14.659
 that you can actually touch and can interact with the worm in the tree.

104
00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:18.019
 When you then move to the main square,

105
00:10:18.539 --> 00:10:19.980
 the main square is a very special thing

106
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:22.360
 because there's also artworks from us participating.

107
00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:24.840
 And it was actually a collaboration.

108
00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:27.840
 It was already mentioned it was with ATT&CK together.

109
00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:33.600
 It was actually part of a lecture that we did together within Critical Data,

110
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.559
 together with also some participants from us, Electronica.

111
00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:42.820
 And we were talking about the question like who is profiting in terms of crisis,

112
00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:44.679
 in terms of multi-crisis.

113
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:45.840
 is profiting in terms of crisis, in terms of multi-crisis.

114
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:51.340
 And the outcome that you see is actually a collaboration together with ATT&CK.

115
00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:55.679
 They gave us access to some very interesting data,

116
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.200
 to some very interesting platforms.

117
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.559
 We had very good discussions with them.

118
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.860
 And please have a look of these works that are presented.

119
00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:04.399
 There of course, there's a lot going on

120
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.700
 because it's a collaboration, as I mentioned, with Ars Electronica.

121
00:11:07.700 --> 00:11:10.879
 There will also be a lot of performances taking place every day.

122
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:21.000
 There will be IG Kultur, there is IG Demokratie, sorry, a lot of programs that actually Christel

123
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.100
 Bauer is in charge of, not us.

124
00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:25.799
 But have a look at the art installations in the container there.

125
00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:30.759
 And this is then the way actually to the Domgasse.

126
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.480
 Maybe for...

127
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:34.340
 I should? Okay.

128
00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:36.019
 Yeah, it's interface cultures, okay.

129
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.860
 So, Domgasse, interface cultures.

130
00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:42.840
 You know, interface cultures suffered a lot on water damages this year.

131
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:44.919
 Maybe you remember, we had to...

132
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:45.000
 We are the ones that say, okay, they are there. No, they are there. Where are they? Fuck. The Swiss culture suffered a lot on water damages this year. Maybe you remember we had to...

133
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.240
 We are the ones that say,

134
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:47.759
 okay, they are there, no, they are there.

135
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.000
 Where are they? Fuck.

136
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.759
 Okay, we had a lot to do around, so we were not...

137
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.759
 We had a difficult time, but we had also a difficult time

138
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.559
 when we decided that we wanted to have the exhibition here in minus two.

139
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:03.759
 Because then we heard, oh, sorry, now also minus two is flooded,

140
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.000
 so find another place.

141
00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:06.980
 Okay, yeah.

142
00:12:07.899 --> 00:12:09.440
 The water was following us, yeah.

143
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.899
 So now Interface Cultures

144
00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:14.120
 is in Domgasse, in Audimax,

145
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:15.980
 everybody of you knows Audimax. Thank you so

146
00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:17.919
 much Fabrizio actually for putting together

147
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.200
 this exhibition on such a short notice

148
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.000
 and in

149
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.820
 these possibilities that we actually

150
00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:24.159
 had.

151
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.480
 Okay, I would just like to thank my team

152
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.220
 and the staff of the university.

153
00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:32.259
 Just one more time,

154
00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:33.860
 because there's a lot of work

155
00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:36.059
 that they put into making this happen.

156
00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:37.779
 There's a lot of rooms involved,

157
00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:39.559
 a lot of infrastructure involved.

158
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.879
 So, a lot of nerves and calming down from stress.

159
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:48.539
 So my team, please thank you again.

160
00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:49.759
 I don't know where you are.

161
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.659
 I see some here.

162
00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:53.659
 Some over there somewhere.

163
00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:54.779
 Yes.

164
00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:57.600
 Thank you for making this happen.

165
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:02.860
 And thank you all for coming here today because this is really a rewarding moment for me.

166
00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:06.000
 And also Manuela, and also for you as well

167
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.440
 to see all these people come together and make something create something together.

168
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:27.860

169
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:30.019
 So Hauptplatz 8

170
00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:31.820
 is full, totally,

171
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:33.980

00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:37.559
 This is also

174
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.860
 for us a very special situation.

175
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.899
 Because of these international relations

176
00:13:41.899 --> 00:13:44.080
 that are very important for us, we're doing

177
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.639

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.639

 as all the other years, with some paella,

192
00:14:34.779 --> 00:14:38.919
 with some questions of what does digestion actually also mean,

193
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.440
 and how to actually bring together people with different thoughts

194
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.679
 and how to digest actually different ideas

195
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.399
 that could come together.

196
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:48.980

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:51.279
