The dense and multifaceted program of the Ars Electronica Festival started its third round on Saturday. Even more visitors than on weekdays went to the central and temporary location of the media art festivals, the PostCity because next year the festival will be again staged at a different location in Linz. So it’s a unique opportunity to visit the festival in this form – until Monday, September 7, 2015. We looked around in the festival locations this Saturday, to capture some impressions for you.
