Ep11. Truth, A.I. & Reality: Investigate Truth & Ambiguity through Art with Gerfried Stocker, Artistic Director of Ars Electronica

Who owns the truth? Navigate A.I. and the endless worlds of manufactured realities and their impact on our understanding of truth in this episode’s fascinating conversation with Gerfried Stocker. Gerfried is a media artist and an engineer for communication technology and has been Artistic Director and co-CEO of Ars Electronica since 1995. Ars Electronica was established in 1979 and for over 40 years has been Europe’s largest festival for art, technology, and society. It’s more than a festival — the platform also includes the Ars Electronica Center, the Museum of the Future, the Prix Ars Electronica awards in digital art, the Futurelab incubator, and much more to explore the questions about our future. Ars Electronica never asks what technology can or will be able to do, but always what it should do for us, which we applaud their human-centered approach. The 2023 Ars Electronica Festival will take place September 6-10 in Linz, Austria, and in today’s episode, you’ll get to hear a thought-provoking conversation about its theme investigating who owns the truth.  Listen as Gerfried explores truth and reality, how we’re building multiple and manufactured realities, and the importance of art to explore ambiguity to meet this moment in time.
