The Prix Ars Electronica is the world’s longest-standing competition for media art. Since 1987, it has honored pioneers whose inspiring projects explore the intersection of art, technology, and society. In 2025, the competition received 3,987 submissions from 98 countries. A selection of the award-winning works in the categories New Animation Art, Digital Musics & Sound Art, and Artificial Life & Intelligence will be on view at the Lentos during the Ars Electronica Festival (September 3 – 7, 2025).

A total of eleven works will be exhibited – including the installation Requiem for an Exit by Frode Oldereid and Thomas Kvam (NO), which confronts viewers with the destructive crimes of violence throughout human history, and Guanaquerx, a four-legged robot by Paula Gaetano Adi (AR), which retraced the paths of historical liberation movements across the Andes. Both projects were awarded the Golden Nica of the Prix Ars Electronica in 2025.
