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.
This time, moderator Veronika Liebl (Director Ars Electronica Festival/Prix/Exhibitions) will talk to guests Christl Baur (Co-Producer Ars Electronica Festival/Prix/Exhibitions) and Dipl.-Ing. Christopher Lindinger (MAS Vice-Rector for Innovation and Researchers at JKU) about the connection between artistic and scientific projects on the JKU Campus in this latest Inside Festival segment from Home Delivery. These projects, which will be presented in the context of the garden exhibitions at JKU, aim to further promote the interplay between art, research and industry/design. This is represented by a group of selected artworks that pick up on and play with the garden metaphor, the Lit projects, in which JKU presents a number of its latest research projects, and the STARTS exhibition, which presents fascinating and award-winning projects from the fields of creativity and innovation.
