The project “Made to Measure — I is a Search Engine” examines how tech companies develop strategies to profit from human weaknesses and insecurities by analyzing user data.

It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to Christine Schöpf—a formative figure in media art and for all of us, without whom Ars Electronica would not be what it is today.

The Ars Electronica Festival 2025 blurred boundaries between art and healthcare, showing how creative practices can power health innovation and re-imagine patient-centred care.

“Perfect Sleep” shows how more sleep can lead to less consumption and CO₂ emissions, thus offering a simple counter-model to the compulsion for growth.

Waltzes with artificial intelligence, organ music with robotics, interactive performances, and club nights: the musical program of the Ars Electronica Festival 2025 opens up new realms of experience for its visitors.

Democracy thrives on resistance and participation. At the Ars Electronica Festival 2025, artistic projects will show how protest opens up new spaces, strengthens communities, and creates visions for a shared future.

Theater has always been an art form that combines different media—today, this includes digital technologies. The Ars Electronica Festival 2025 showcases some of the most exciting examples.

“Organism and Excitable Chaos” combines sound sculpture, instrument, and kinetic experiment. The work explores how organic forms, unstable pipes, and a chaotic pendulum open up new possibilities for the interplay between material, sound, and audience.

Vibe Shift

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 19:04:00 +0200

Earlier this month, Rhizome presented Vibe Shift, a two-part event featuring a hackathon and showcase at ZeroSpace in Brooklyn, New York. Organized in partnership with Anthropic, this event sought to explore the creative practice of Vibe Coding, or the practice of using plain language to prompt LLMs like Claude to create executable computer code.

Rhizome has long supported some of the very first artists working online—artists misunderstood for experimenting with new technologies, for troubling canonical standards online and beyond, for treating the internet as a playground. From quantum internet experiments to pigeons that monitor air quality to competitive web surfing, we are committed to platforming art that defies categorization. With that in mind, we convened our communities as well as those of our partners NEW INC, Onassis ONX, and ZeroSpace to explore the nascent creative practice of AI-assisted coding and how artists are responding to these new systems.

Day 1: Hackathon

participants at the hackathon, October 8 at ZeroSpace in Brooklyn, NYC.

We gathered 100 artists from our community and 16 mentors to participate in a one-evening hackathon where they would learn, make, and reflect; participants and mentors were also invited to share their work in a public showcase the following night.

Ploipailin Flynn, co-founder of AIxDESIGN, set the broader context for the night, urging participants to reflect on process over product. She set out a framework of “Slow AI,” prompting those gathered to make things that are “small, weird, and situated.” Everyone was given printed worksheets that asked them to make note of credit usage, intentions, and results.

The hackathon was anchored by a wonderful group of mentors—Chia Amisola, Kevin McCoy, Louise Macfadyen, Will Freudenheim, Don Hanson, Morry Kolman, Paizley Lee, Jamie Wilkinson, Daniel Temkin, Aaron Santiago, Shakti Mb, Saarim Zaman, John Threat, Ploipailin Flynn, Char Stiles, Rox Harris—who provided guidance on how to get started, sharing insight into their practices and how vibe coding can be used to augment, intersect with, or interrogate them.

In a workshop with Chia Amisola, participants learned how to generate bookmarklets to “perform” websites; Morry Kolman walked us through how one might use AI to scrape public data from websites; Kevin McCoy challenged us to vibe code software with a user base of one.

From creating unscalable software, to designing absurd programming languages, to imagining alternative, slower narratives to AI, the evening was a vivid snapshot of artist communities navigating change, and a testament to the continued relevance of artistic perspectives even as tools and contexts shift.

Day 2: Vibe Shift Party

The following day we returned to ZeroSpace once again to see the works made during the hackathon, dance to live coded performances, eat cupcakes, scream at the top of our lungs during the vibe code battle, and more!

Showcase

A simulation of a 2-month old baby’s vision. An interactive maze that invites you to “browse the universe.” A rude horoscope. An ambient drone interface inspired by the cosmos of the universe. These are a few of the Claude-powered works on view at Vibe Shift, installed on projections and computers and in a subway car. Along with the exhibited works, participants and mentors also shared work via five-minute presentations for an attentive crowd.

There’s a lot that you can do in 8 minutes—

Veteran vibe coders were invited to the stage to see what they could make with Claude in 8 minutes, starting from scratch with an empty prompt. At the end of each round, audience cheers determined a “winner;” drama and hijinks ensued, with emcee John Threat keeping the energy level high.

Paizley Lee made a video game starring a rogue Anthropic employee; Alexander Bricken created an MS Paint clone that turned sketches into 3d objects; Lyell Hintz created an ASCII composition that cascaded all over the screen; Bethany Crystal imagined what Taylor Swift’s campaign website might look like; Xuelong Mu created a visualizer for Pachelbel's Canon; and Char Stiles could not connect to wifi, but still won her round.

Live Coding Performances

The night closed out with a celebration of more traditional creative coding: live coded performances by Roxanne Harris and Char Stiles. Live Coding is the act of writing and editing computer code to generate live music or an audiovisual experience—it emphasizes process and transparency, revealing the code and interfaces the performer uses to generate the sound and visuals in real-time.
