Career

Lindinger studied computer science at the Johannes Kepler University Linz and completed a postgraduate cultural management course in Salzburg . As a visiting researcher at the University of Illinois in Chicago, he developed contributions to the supercomputer visualization of abstract mathematical models. He programmed software for the US space agency NASA , the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation at the Johannes Kepler University Linz and the computer game industry.

Due to his activities in connection with new technologies, interdisciplinary research and digital art, he was a founding member of the Ars Electronica Futurelab in 1997 . Christopher Lindinger realized media art projects such as Gullivers Welt, curated a number of exhibitions in this environment, such as the show Gestures - yesterday, today, the day after tomorrow or the interactive traveling exhibition Sparks, and was a jury member at festivals and competitions.

From 2002 he headed the Research and Innovation department at the Ars Electronica Futurelab and shaped R&D collaborations with international partners from industry and science. This included the design of digital creativity support tools, studies on the potential of disruptive technologies such as VR or blockchain , innovation strategies for future social scenarios and applications in the field of robotics . The media laboratory's customers include companies such as Audi , Vodafone , Honda Robotics, SAP , Toshiba and Nokia and institutions such as the MIT Media Lab , the Royal College of Art in London and the University of Osaka . As overall project manager and co-curator, Christopher Lindinger was also responsible for the new museum building and the permanent exhibition of the Ars Electronica Center as part of Linz's 2009 Capital of Culture year .

Since 2013, the development of self-driving vehicles , primarily for Mercedes-Benz , has been a central focus of his work as head of research at the Ars Electronica Futurelab. The focus of the scientific debate was on user acceptance, the interaction between autonomous cars and pedestrians, and the networked ecosystem of self-driving means of transport. The first project of this cooperation was the F 015 concept car from Mercedes-Benz, which was also presented in Linz in 2015 as part of the Ars Electronica Festival .  

Christopher Lindinger has been Vice Rector for Innovation and Researchers at the Johannes Kepler University Linz since October 2019 .

In view of his experience at the interface of technology, culture and society, Christopher Lindinger advises municipalities, industrial companies and government institutions on the development of innovation structures and creative industries . At the same time, he works as a lecturer at European and international universities, creates EU-wide funding programs for the creative industries and designs curricula for tertiary education, most recently for the Digital Ideation course at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts .

In addition, Christopher Lindinger is considered the architect of the UNESCO City of Media Arts Linz, as he played a leading role in the conception of the application for the title.
