AAI Austria: Future of Inclusion Lab - Virtual Panel Review
ZERO1, Ars Electronica, and U.S. Embassy Vienna invites you to the virtual panel review of the American Arts Incubator - Austria.
The work presented during the Virtual Panel Review is the culmination of a month-long engagement at the Future of Inclusion Lab, led by Iranian-American artist Rashin Fahandej.
Future of Inclusion Lab is a virtual program centered on Art, Technology and community co-creation to address the challenge of Social Inclusion.The program provides technology and resource access to a mixed group of Austrian and Europe-based creatives, taking on the lens of what Fahandej calls “Art as Ecosystem,” creating a network of collaborations with a multiplicity of narratives that investigate social systems and occupy public sites as a critical discourse. The workshops center on co-creation philosophies, using emerging media tools and platforms to co-create prototypes for immersive and poetic reflections and to envision radical philosophical shifts needed for change.
During a 90 min Live Stream on July 31st via Ars Electronica Home Delivery, Future of Inclusion Lab participants will present their creative projects and a panel of experts will review their work.

Independence Day celebration
The American Corner Innsbruck and the Austro-American Society/Tirol had their annual joint Independence Day celebration on Saturday, 4th of July, 2020. This was the first physical gathering in the four months since Corona hit Tirol, so we kept it smaller than usual and there were restrictions. Nonetheless, 60 people registered and no one complained about wearing a mask whenever in the buffet line. Masks were provided for those who needed and a hand-sanitizing station was provided at the start of the line. In American pot-luck tradition, family-style side dishes brought from home augmented the catered hamburgers/hot dogs/ribs and grilled vegetables, and there were two full tables of luscious fruit and desserts. A delicious time was had by all!
