“What it takes to change” – New challenge of Ars Electronica 

Ars Electronica Festival 2014’s theme is “C… what it takes to change”. To pursue this theme, the festival itself changes the form beyond the conventional venues, dives into “the city”, such as a shopping mall, school, and bank. From all over the world, innovators of many kinds of fields (Artists, Scientists, Technicians, Designers, Social Activists, Entrepreneurs..) are invited and present and share their unique viewpoints. Moreover, Ars Electronica start collaboration with European Capital of Culture Pilsen 2015, as well as Mons 2015. We discuss about how we can “change” the identity or culture of the city, and Japanese artists are invited for their performances and talk in this framework, during the Ars Electronica Festival.
