The exhibits explore playful media through mixed reality, spatial interaction, andartificialintelligence, subtly echoing the festival theme PANIC – yes/no. Visitors will encounter immersive simulations—from environmental disasters to AI identity dilemmas, embodying spider-like beings or navigating multi-sensory rituals. Each work blends agency with a thrill of fear—but remember: “No need to panic – it's all just a simulation” Stadt Linz+7BLOG Atelierhaus Salzamt Linz+7Ars Electronica+7.
