Ars Electronica Center, Technology and media art museum in Linz, Austria

Ars Electronica Center is a museum in Linz dedicated to digital art, robotics, and scientific research. The exhibitions feature interactive installations where visitors can try technologies hands-on, and use large projection surfaces to display content.

The museum was founded in 1996 to make rapid digital technology development accessible to a broad audience. Since then, it has become a place where artistic experiments and scientific inquiry converge.

The center displays how people engage with emerging technologies and what questions arise from them. The exhibitions blend artworks with scientific equipment and invite visitors to experiment firsthand.

The location is walkable from central Linz and sits near the Danube River. Most exhibitions allow visitors to touch and operate displays and devices, so exploring takes time to fully experience.

The Deep Space 8K is a large room with walls and floors that serve as projection surfaces, displaying ultra-sharp images at enormous scale. This setup creates an engrossing feeling of standing within images, something many visitors describe as the highlight of their visit.
