Codes [ ] Rituals - Campus26 Interface Cultures Exhibition

Codes [ ] Rituals
IC @ Ars Electronica 2026

Eine kurze Führung durch die Ausstellung vom Studiengang Interface Cultures. 

Exhibition in the Domgasse 8th to 13th September 2026

This year’s exhibition arises from a moment marked by acceleration, fragmented attention, the constant production of information, and the endless triggering of emotional responses. In a time increasingly shaped by mediated realities and distant forms of conflict, we are compelled to ask: who constructs the narratives through which we perceive the world, and what forms can still create shared meaning? While information expands through endless accumulation, stories and rituals establish moments of temporary closure, rendering time inhabitable and creating structures of attention, repetition, and resonance through which new imaginaries and unexpected forms of coexistence unfold. 

Interface Cultures students do not simply present works, but their own personal systems and situations that operate as new forms of code and ritual. Through new materialities that move within and beyond the screen, they activate new spaces of encounter, friction, and collective imagination. Their projects have become environments for trial and error, for productive misuse, for getting into trouble together, but also for practising care and play. Rather than presenting finished statements, “Codes [  ] Rituals” should be understood as a celebration of process itself –– a temporary suspension of productivity before the projects begin their life beyond the exhibition space.
