Program Schedule




In cooperation with Ars Electronica/COMPUTER CULTURE DAYS LINZ the ORF will broadcast the one-week ORF-Videonale 86 on television. The late-evening programme will revolve around video art for at least 2 hours per day for a week. Television will thus turn onto an electronic forum for artists.
