Ars Electronica 2023 Festival for Art, Technology, and Society
Towards a New Social Contract Ars Electronica 2023 is dedicated to the complex questions of truth and the concept of ownership in this digital age. In doing so, the festival navigates the central questions of our time. The focus is on how our perception of "authentic" and "original" is being transformed and whether truth can be owned, and how this relates to digitalization and the rapidly developing performance of artificial intelligence. How can the achievements of a tool that is so much based on the globally collective "raw material" of knowledge and creativity be made accessible to everyone and be harnessed to the benefit of all? This comprehensive volume brings together the works of artists, scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs and activists from around the world and delves deep into the themes of the festival, offering insights, perspectives, and thought-provoking content that reflect on the intersection of art, technology, and society.

Ars Electronica has been accompanying and analyzing the digital revolution and its manifold implications since 1979. It has consistently focused and focuses on processes and trends at the interface between art, technology, and society. This artistic-scientific research becomes visible in the form of a festival that is organized every year in Linz (Austria). Its five-day program comprises conferences, panel discussions, workshops, exhibitions, performances, interventions, and concerts. The event is planned, organized, and produced in collaboration with international artists and scientists. Each festival addresses a different volatile future issue.

The Practice of Art and Science
The European Digital Art and Science Network was initiated in 2015 with the aim of connecting the microcosm and macrocosm of science with the digital arts. The network is made up of renowned research institutions (ESA, CERN, and ESO), which collaborate with the Ars Electronica Futurelab to offer residencies for artists. The seven European project partners represent cultural and artistic positions in Europe, which are as strong as they are diverse, in exhibitions, at workshops, and at conferences. The book presents the artistic projects and residencies in powerful images, and contributions by well-known scientists and artists analyze the challenges posed by art and science.
