Even before the festival began, 200 students from over 70 countries spent four weeks at the Festival University of Ars Electronica with JKU scientists, artists, and many other high-ranking experts from all areas of art, technology, science, and society. They develop strategies and solutions and experience the complexity of one of the most significant challenges of our time in a fictitious international environmental court simulation (“The International Environmental and Climate Court”).
Festival University 2022
Global challenges of tomorrow require a new approach – one based on creativity and co-creation. The Festival University, a joint initiative between Ars Electronica and Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU), invites students from around the world to jointly develop planetary strategies for change and transformation.
With “Welcome to Planet B” as the title for this year’s festival, the focus of the program is not just on climate change and its effects itself, but extends to the even more important questions of how we as a society, as nations, as a global community can respond to the challenges it poses.
