Ars Electronica Center
Manuela Macedonia and the Academy of Media Arts Cologne to Appear at the Ars Electronica Center
Interview with Dawid Liftinger of Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln / Ars Electronica Blog
(Linz, June 6, 2018) The Ars Electronica Center is hosting two very interesting events on the evening of Thursday, June 28, 2018. At 6:30, Dr. Manuela Macedonia will address the subject of friendship and the brain, and discuss how the brains of people who are friends with each other process information similarly. As a result, friends often share opinions or have similar interests. At 7 PM, international artists from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne will be making a guest appearance in Deep Space 8K, where they’ll present works of art across the creative spectrum—classic videos and animated shorts, sound performances, and works entailing visitor participation.
