Every year before the festival, the OK Offenes Kulturhaus im OÖ Kulturquartier invites all the artists of the CyberArts for a welcome-drink. If it’s up to the artists, Festival Ars Electronica 2013 is ready to begin.
Genoveva Rückert of the OK, curator of the CyberArts 2013, and Emiko Ogawa, responsible for the Prix Ars Electronica, welcome the artists in front of the Höhenrausch.
