(Linz, 10 September 2020) This is Ars Electronica’s first guest performance at Johannes Kepler University: Friday, 11 September 2020, 1 p.m., “Kepler’s Garden” opens its doors for the first time and invites you to stroll around. No matter where you turn, the paths are lined with artistic works and scientific research projects. The “STARTS Exhibition” can be seen in the recently completed Kepler Hall, the “Garden Exhibition” will be presented around the pond, and projects from the Linz Institute of Technology (LIT) will be shown in the Open Innovation Center, the Learning Center, the Uni Center and the Science Park. Meanwhile, “create your world” cultivates an entire “Garden of Talents” under the expansive crowns of old oak, birch and beech trees, where everything revolves around young visions for our future.
In addition to these permanent presentations, “Kepler’s Garden” will become the venue for the Soiré on Friday evening, which will be entirely devoted to art. The evening begins with a spotlight on VALIE EXPORT as well as Lisa Rass, Franziska Gallé, Jona Lingitz and Anna Fachbach — a pioneer appearing alongside the next generation of media artists. They will receive their Golden Nicas of the Prix Ars Electronica. The second part of the program will be the Big Concert Night with Markus Poschner and the Bruckner Orchestra Linz. On Sunday “Kepler’s Garden” becomes the setting for the “AI x Music Festival” as well as the now traditional organic farmers’ market. On Sunday Maki Namekawa, Dennis Russell Davies and Cori O’Lan invite you to “Pianographique” once again in “Kepler’s Garden.”
