(Linz, December 9, 2014) Following up on last year’s very successful collaboration, Ars Electronica Linz has once again been invited to provide artistic projects to be featured at ITU Telecom World 2014. This presentation entitled The Lab is a collection of 16 works dealing with various aspects of our networked world.
