PARTICIPANTS
The movement from “local to global“ is often accompanied by unorthodox, original, witty and, at times, even absurd artistic practices. Katherine Liberovskaya (Experimental Intermedia Foundation, NY), Carol Parkinson (Harvestworks, NY), David Weinstein (Roulette Intermedium, NY), Sergey Teterin (CYLAND MediaArtLab, RU), Natalia Kolodzei (Kolodzei Art Foundation, NY) through conversation and storytelling explore interdisciplinary collaboration, community building and cross-cultural communication.
From September 8 to 12, Ars Electronica 2021, the festival for art, technology and society, will take place not only in Linz (Austria) and 86 other Ars Electronica Gardens around the globe, but also online. The festival thus presents itself as a dual event – with exhibitions, concerts, talks, conferences, workshops, guided tours and other online activities. — Read more
The Leonardo/ISAST LASERs are a program of international gatherings that bring artists, scientists, humanists and technologists together for informal presentations, performances and conversations with the wider public to over 47 cities around the world. The mission of LASER is to encourage contribution to the cultural environment of a region by fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and opportunities for community building.
Leonardo LASER Garden gathers a global network of artists, scientists, humanists and technologists together in a series of hybrid formats addressing the world’s most pressing issues. Animated by the theme of a “new digital deal” and grounded in the UN Sustainability Goals, Leonardo LASER Garden cultivates values of equity and inclusion by elevating underrepresented voices in a wide-ranging exploration of global challenges, digital communities and placemaking, space, networks and systems, the digital divide – and the impact of interdisciplinary art, science and technology discourse and collaboration.
Dovetailing with the launch of LASER Linz, this asynchronous multi-platform garden will highlight the best of the Leonardo Network (spanning 47 cities worldwide) and its transdisciplinary community.
In September 2020, CYLAND Media Art Lab has become the official representative of The Leonardo / Laser Talks Cyland – see all video recordings on YouTube.
