Ars Electronica Home Delivery in its fourth week
(Linz, May 21, 2020) Sensational archaeological discoveries from Lake Attersee, the fascinating interplay of origami and robotics, a visually stunning journey through the constellation of Gemini, and a concert highlight featuring Dennis Russel Davies and Maki Namekawa: the program for the fourth week of Ars Electronica Home Delivery offers plenty of variety and once again delivers a wealth of fascinating material from the fields of art, technology and society directly to the living room, kitchen, children’s room, balcony or terrace. The audience at home is once again invited to ask questions or simply join in the conversation via Skype or YouTube comments.
The programme highlights of the week at a glance:
