Ars Electronica 2024 Festival for Art, Technology, and Society - HOPE. Who Will Turn the Tide

Intersection of art, technology, and societyWe have reached a point of no return. Despite all our fears, worries, and anger, it is important to acknowledge and face current problems and disasters. Hope can emerge from this collective unease as a unifying element. It drives us both as individuals and as a society, gives us the courage to rethink, act differently and fundamentally change our behavior—in short: to turn the tide. We have long had the ideas, technologies and tools to do so. Ars Electronica 2024 will put on show people whose ideas, projects and actions give us good reason to hope that we can still turn the corner. Hope lies in the common sense of the individual and the wisdom of the masses. Let’s turn the tide!
