Prix Ars Electronica & S+T+ARTS Prize 2026
Shin Hanagata, CHIMERIA, 2026
The exhibition presents six selected works by winners of the Prix Ars Electronica 2026 (4,329 submissions from 106 countries) and the European Commission’s S+T+ARTS Prize 2026 (2,719 submissions from 110 countries) – predominantly works that received a Golden Nica or a Grand Prize.
With a strong sense of urgency, the works on display challenge our understanding of what it means to be “human” – a concept we long took for granted. They reconsider it from a wide range of perspectives: from bodily perception and the logic of capitalist technologies to the new autonomous creativity of AI, as well as history, geopolitics and the climate crisis. Together, the award-winning works reveal that what we consider “human” is not fixed, but constantly evolving. In doing so, they give powerful form to this year’s festival theme, NEGOTIATING HUMANITY.
The exhibition can be explored individually or as part of daily guided tours.
