The UCLA Art Sci Center and the UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical are a site in the prestigious ARS Electronica Festival this autumn! Virtual events will be available live to the public throughout the course of the five days. From oak genomics and sidewalk herbariums to nature-themed opera and fungal projections, you won’t want to miss a beat! The festival was started in 1979, and this year’s theme encompasses ecology, art, design, humanity, and the dynamic changes we have experienced related to the global pandemic. Please note that there will not be any gatherings at the Garden. All talks, performances, and exhibits will be accessible virtually. Check out the schedule here and find links to all the events!
