  • Onassis Stegi You and AI: Through the Algorithmic Lens
    Onassis Stegi You and AI: Through the Algorithmic Lens Curated by Irini Mirena Papadimitriou, Creative Director, FutureEverything Commissioned and Produced by Onassis Stegi 24 June - 25 July, 2021 Pedion Areos - Athens Throughout history, humans have imagined how artificial intelligence might transform society. How intelligent machines could make us more efficient, productive and predictable. What began as a dream has today become a reality. AI is everywhere. From personal and home devices and rapidly expanding into public space. But as AI starts to shape our everyday lives, who shapes AI? And how are we affected by machine decision making we might not even be aware of? You and AI invites you to explore work that challenges our fantasies of AI and opens up critical discussions about the increasing implementation of these systems and their impact on human subjectivity in the social, working and democratic contexts. Unfolding through three thematic areas, it is investigating ideas around AI, civic space and participation, how we perceive the world and are being seen through algorithms, and questioning the meaning of intelligence within AI. Thematic Area 1 - AI, CIVIC SPACE, PARTICIPATION & DEMOCRACY In a world dominated by algorithms and where AI is always watching – is everyone included? Or does the machine decide who should be seen and heard? The first thematic area, AI, civic space, participation and democracy, presents works that show worlds through artificial, invisible systems and new digital bureaucracies. Worlds that are increasingly quantified and categorised by algorithmic systems, and where everything is redefined, accepted or excluded based on machine decision making systems and automation.

  • Ars Electronica Futurelab
    Ars Electronica Futurelab Andreas J. Hirsch Edited by Horst Hörtner, Roland Haring, Hideaki Ogawa Alchemists of the Future Ars Electronica Futurelab The First 25 Years and Beyond ARS ELECTRONICA FUTURELAB 25 Years of Ars Electronica Futurelab The creation of the Futurelab was in equal measure an accident or a stroke of luck (right people, right time, right place) and the unavoidable consequence of the original Ars Electronica idea of a merging of art, technology, and society. It was certainly also an urgent necessity—actually the only chance—to make the planned Ars Electronica Center with its groundbreaking innovations, high artistic standards, and clear didactical goals a fully functioning “Museum of the Future.” In mid-1995, entrusted with this task, we were faced with so many technical and creative challenges that there was simply only one way forward: putting together a team of ambitious and visionary artists and technicians and striving to turn this great vision, which up to that point had existed only on paper, into reality. To realize his idea of an Ars Electronica Center, Hannes Leopoldseder had in advance invited experts and artists from all over the world to develop visions for this new kind of center and, not surprisingly, the invitees outdid themselves with spectacular scenarios ranging from LED wallpaper with which all walls would be covered (at that time there were not yet LED flatscreens on the market) to kinetic components that would change the building constantly. Alas, there was then the reality, a reality in which it was not enough to cobble these kinds of prototypes together for a short demonstration at a fair or art exhibition, but rather one in which they had to stand up to the real world of permanent exhibitions where they were on show six days a week, with only one day for maintenance and repair.
