Following last year’s brilliant 40-year festival, which brought more artists, exhibitors and international experts to Linz than ever before, this year Ars Electronica is going on a journey, or rather the festival itself is becoming a journey – a journey through “Kepler’s Gardens”, which are not just located in Linz at the JKU Campus but also 120 other locations worldwide. 120 locations between Tokyo and Los Angeles, where universities, museums, galleries, clubs, communes and businesses will hold hundreds of exhibitions, conferences, performances, concerts and workshops that are aimed at the local audiences.
In today’s conversation, hosted by Martin Honzik (Managing Director, Festival / Prix / Exhibitions, Ars Electronica), Veronika Liebl (Director European Cooperation, Finance & Organization; Festival / Prix / Exhibitions, Ars Electronica) and Hannes Franks (Project Coordinator, Festival / Prix / Exhibitions, Ars Electronica) will present this year’s follow-up to the AIxMusic Festival as well as the projects Gnawa Machine and MOREOVER.
