“An evening with Ars Electronica @HEI” brings to the audience films made by top young European filmmakers illustrating the evolution of visual and sound arts under the impact of new technologies and creatively dealing with topical themes. The event is being held under the aegis of the 50th anniversary of the Department for Cultural Affairs of the Austrian Ministry of European and International Affairs. Admission is free.

For โ€œAn evening with Ars Electronica @HEIโ€, Timiศ™oara audience will watch the two most important sections of the program – Electronic Theater and Austrian Panorama.

ย ๐Ÿ”ตFor many years, the screening program of the Ars Electronica Animation Festival has shown the best of current productions, compiled from the submissions to the Prix Ars Electronicaโ€™s category Computer Animation. This year, 657 movies were submitted to a pre-selection jury, which chose the films to be presented and awarded at this year’s Ars Electronica Animation Festival.

๐Ÿ”ตMany of the works being shown can be categorized as expanded animation, such as various VR experiences, hybrids between games and animations, site-specific installations, or experiments with new technology such as artificial intelligence or machine learning. The spectrum of formats ranges from animated shorts to animated documentaries, from experimental-abstract works to interactive animated audio-visual environments.

๐Ÿ”ตElectronic Theater (28โ€™40โ€™โ€™) is the annual best-of program, a compilation of outstanding animatedfilms, chosen by the jury from the submitted works in the category Computer Animation. The
selection showcases current productions in terms of artistic content, as well as cultural and
technological innovation.

๐Ÿ”ตAustrian Panorama (43โ€™55โ€™โ€™) presents a series of films by Austrian filmmakers, productions that ask a series of uncomfortable questions in contemporary society – What does it mean to commit suicide in a digital world? Can we exist as fragmented digital identities? What happens when we do not play by the rules of in-game environments? Does the earth revolve around me? This program features a selection of Austrian film directors. The spectrum ranges from dystopian visions of the future to humorous introspections. A wide range of styles and techniques are used: Game Engines, Motion Capture, 3D Animation and Pixilation.
