Upcoming Exhibitions

“Future Begins”, Ars Electronica 2026

​​

“Future Begins” and “Negotiating Humanity” are the two thematic concepts of the year 2026—47 years after the first Ars Electronica Festival and 30 years since the opening of the Ars Electronica Center, which also initiated the development of Ars Electronica’s unique ecosystem.

Artist Mary Maggic has joined our institute as Artist in Residence to collaborate on the P.A.I.N. project (PAIN is Personal and Interconnected with Nature). This interdisciplinary project is being developed for the Ars Electronica Festival and serves as a continuation of the 2025 PAIN project, further expanding its research and artistic reach. It is part of the overarching “Impact Initiative on Medicine, Arts & AI”, initiated by the LBG OIS Center in cooperation with Ars Electronica and the JKU Lift_C (Institute for Transformative Change).

Opening: September 9 to 13, 2026, Linz

Previous Exhibitions

X FRAMES PER SPACE • Different logics – Shared questions (Vienna Art Week 2025)

​​

X FRAMES PER SPACE • DIFFERENT LOGICS – SHARED QUESTIONS explores these framings as a fundamental basis for our perception of the world and creates an open space where art and science intersect and unfold. 70 artistic and scientific positions illuminate complex relationships: they ask how scientific data inspire artistic creation and how art engages with contemporary scientific inquiries. It is driven by the interfaces between science, art, technology, data visualization, social imagination, and processes of exploration and transformation. It investigates how different modes of thinking can lead to similar questions – or, conversely, how different questions can yield comparable outcomes. In the multi-logical interplay of Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, video, installation, painting, and drawing, new spaces for thought emerge beyond established categories. By experiencing diverse perspectives, the exhibition invites visitors to question the apparent self-evidence of our worldview and to move beyond the frame to discover new paths.
 

Opening: Saturday, November 8, 2025

P.A.I.N - Pain is Interpersonal and In Nature (PPP- MAP) - Group Exhibition - JKU x Ars Electronica

​​​

Three days in Linz at the JKU Med Campus. Four challenges and one experiment. Putting a mix of artists, medical and AI experts, coders, students to tinker big questions: What if AI changes the way health and medicine can be approached?

Today's ecological issues such as forest fires, heavy-metal contamination in rivers, and risingtemperatures can be seen as a heavy imbalance in the body of the planet. Using environmental and human health data sets, combined with GIS or Earth Engine data, how can we show ecologies in decline and how communities respond emotionally?

What we uncovered: The team created PPP (Personal–Planetary–Pain), an interactive map linking ecological loss, socioeconomic suffering, and human pain. Using concepts from Traditional Chinese Medicine, they visualized Earth’s pain through “phantom scars” and invited users to add their own stories, weaving personal experiences into a collective memory of crisis and resilience.

Curation & Experience Design

Curatorial Team: ‘Rootelligence: Climate Equity x AI x Youth-led Urban Futures’ Exhibition & Symposium

Digital Common(s) x CUHK MoCC

Hong Kong experiences extreme weather from scorching heat to record-breaking rainstorms. Climate extremes do not affect everyone equally. The underprivileged neighbourhood suffered from poorly ventilated spaces during heatwaves, or was exposed to flooding and leakages during torrential rains. This lived reality makes climate equity not an abstract ideal, but an urgent urban imperative.

Through a co-creation approach that brings together citizens and professionals, strategies can be developed by integrating environmental conditions and community needs. Youth are not only future residents of our cities, but also active contributors in shaping technology, ecology, and allocation of social resources. Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can further support data analysis, design visualization, and urban design prototyping, enhancing the entire co-creation process.

The MoCC, in collaboration with Digital Common(s), CUHK School of Architecture, and CUHK PI Centre, proudly presents the exhibition ‘Rootelligence’. Inspired by the intelligence through nature, especially the cooperative exchange of resources and signals within root systems, visitors will gain insights into the foundations of Hong Kong's local communities and envision a climate-just urban future for 2050 and beyond. This programme explores how natural principles, AI, and community collaboration can be integrated through a youth-driven, AI-facilitated co-creation methods to help design the future city by harnessing climate equity knowledge.

Curation: Runner's High - :Phoebe Hui x HOKA - March 27 to March 29, 2026 (Art Basel Hong Kong 2026)
PROJCT

​​​

Rooted in the brand’s ethos of movement as transformation, the work draws from the lived experiences of ultra-marathon runners, where the body is pushed to its limits and perception begins to shift. At extreme distances, runners often report hallucinations and altered states of awareness. Time extends, the body dissolves, and reality becomes distorted. In these moments, runners describe a paradoxical state: losing themselves while simultaneously becoming more present than ever before.

Curation: Life Chapters by Wit Pimkanchanapong (Art Basel Hong Kong 2026)
PROJCT

​​​

Each transition in life can be seen as a new chapter, marked by decisions, detours, and turning points. Life Chapters translates this idea into a large-scale, kinetic labyrinth that keeps rewriting itself in response to how people move through it. As visitors walk, walls and pathways shift, opening some routes while closing others, making visible how every action changes what becomes possible next. Bangkok-based artist Wit Pimkanchanapong approaches space from an architectural and systems perspective, using mazes, mechanisms, sound, and light to choreograph how people move, react, and interact. In Life Chapters, he creates a dynamic environment that never settles into a fixed form, echoing how our lives are shaped by continuous actions.

Studio Assistant: Apocalypse Fatigue by Bea Brücker
 

'Apocalypse Fatigue / Erschöpfung', explores the physical and emotional consequences of ecological exhaustion. It reflects on the relationship between humans and nature in the Capitalocene, revealing our deep interconnection with microorganisms and making entangled life tangible. 

The film explores exhaustion shared by humans and nature in the Capitalocene, highlighting connections to algae, corals, and bacteria. Protagonist K suffers from chronic fatigue, overwhelmed by catastrophic news. Her condition evolves into hallucinations where she meets primordial organisms. She witnesses a coral expelling stressed algae, turning a vital symbiosis toxic, leading to bleaching and death. These visions mirror her own state: stress and overload harm both microbes and humans. Eventually, K enters surreal post-aquatic worlds shaped by symbiosis and care. Wearing algae-based costumes, she embodies kinship with nonhuman life, echoing Donna Haraway’s call for collaborative coexistence over exploitation.
