The festival has just wrapped up! From September 4-8, Linz once again became the global hub for art, tech, and society. Bartosz Frąckowiak from 4CF The Futures Literacy Company joined in, and for him, it’s always the highlight of the year — a place where friends, visionary artists, and brilliant curators come together to create and share. The works here fuel his inspiration for months!

Since its start in 1979, Ars Electronica has always been ahead of the curve, exploring where art meets the digital revolution. 2024 was no exception! Across Linz’s many venues, the festival offered exhibitions, concerts, performances, screenings, talks, and workshops — a true kaleidoscope of creativity.
