Interface Cultures is participating in Ars Electronica Festival 2026 with a series of satellite events across Linz from September 9–13:

09.09.26 | Samsara of Blossom: Resonance

📍 Deep Space | 19:30–20:00

Razieh Kooshki

Connecting Korean cultural heritage with contemporary digital practice, this work explores how movement rooted in Korean traditional dance can be reimagined through media art. Performers interact with an evolving visual landscape that responds to breath, rhythm and motion.

11.09.26 | By the Time We Looked

📍 Studio 1 | 16:00–19:00

Patricia Soto Molina

Developed in dialogue with CERN researcher Antonio Gómez Delegido, this live audiovisual performance was developed through research into the Standard Model, the Higgs boson and event reconstruction methodologies at CERN. It follows a speculative journey of particles inside the accelerator, where fields guide their movement towards collision.

11.09.26 | Animal Rituals!

📍 Glitch & Leak Festival | 19:30

Nyx Günther

A pack of strange, gender-q***r furry beings gathers in the centre of Linz. Through masks, sensors, movement, sound, and glitch, “Animal Rituals!” creates a feedback loop between body, animal, and machine - a ritual of becoming other and a celebration of q***r and posthuman identities.

11.–12.09.26 | Leonardo LASER talks Linz 2026 — Lab Songs Vol. III: Sobremesas

📍 Kunstuniversität Linz, Domgasse 1

Curated by Fabricio Lamoncha

Leonardo LASER is an international program that brings artists, scientists, academics, and the public together to share ideas and inspire new connections. This year’s “Sobremesas” gathers around the dining table as a space for encounter, conversation, care, and the collective digestion of knowledge.

13.09.26 | Processing Community Day — Creative Coding Open House

📍 Innovationshauptplatz, Pfarrgasse 1 | 13:00–18:00

Join us for a day celebrating 25 years of Processing, open to beginners, experienced users, and everyone in between. Explore creative coding with Processing and p5.js, experiment with body and face tracking, discover Deep Space applications, and exchange ideas around AI, creative practice, and teaching.

Ghazal Hosseini (ghazal🌱) will be presenting her research paper ‘Feel.Back.Loop: Affective Co-Adaptation between Humans and Embodied Intelligent Systems through Reinforcement Learning’ at the Expanded Conference on the 9-11th September as part of Ars Electronica Festival 2026.

📍skyloft at Ars Electronica Center

This talk presents a research paper on Feel.Back.Loop — a robotic tail that learns from human emotion — exhibited as part of the Interface Cultures campus exhibition at Ars Electronica Festival 2025. Drawing on the animal tail as a metaphor for non-verbal communication, the work uses affective computing and reinforcement learning to read facial expressions in real time, using detected affect as a reward signal to evolve its movement behavior and develop, through interaction, a movement language that was never explicitly authored. The paper examines the conceptual framework, technical architecture, and interaction dynamics of the installation, drawing on observations from the festival and a structured user study.

‘[not] breaking the cycle’, a collaboration between Kunstuniversität and Bruckneruni will be shown tomorrow at Ars Electronica Center, Deep Space 8K! Ars Electronica

26.06.2026 | 20:00 - 20:45 at Deep Space 8K, Ars Electronica Center, Linz.

[not] breaking the cycle

This performance explores the way we move through different phases of cycle, from order to chaos to order again. Trying to find the answers to questions, such as: How do things interact when they attract each other? How can what we perceive be distorted? How do things change when they are observed?

Even if we ever find those answers, we end up at the starting point, having to learn everything from scratch. In the end, the point is not to break the cycle, but to find a way to move with(in) it. This performance was created as a collaborative project between visual artists from Kunstuniversität and dancers from Bruckneruni.
