(Linz, December 9, 2011) 178,000 museum visitors, 83,976 festival guests, 3,611 Prix submissions from 74 countries, the very successful launch of the new CREATE YOUR WORLD festival for young people and the start of a three-year collaboration with CERN, a 33% increase in project assignments on the books of the Ars Electronica Futurelab, excellent attendance at exhibitions in Venice and Berlin, and a high-profile show about to open in Osaka—Ars Electronica’s achievements in 2011 are a source of great pride.
