The musical highlight to wrap up Ars Electronica: both African
Hip-Hop bands, BMG 44 and Pee Froiss, are joined onstage by
the Spanish-American duo Lucky Kitchen (Prix Ars Electronica
2002 Award of Distinction in Digital Musics) and Anticon
(Honorary Mention).

BMG 44 and Pee Froiss present Senegalese HipHop, the
actual power of which lies in its political dimension.

Lucky Kitchen’s compositions include acoustic and digital
movements that blend to such a degree that they cancel each
other out and thus become a third auditory state: organic digital.

Anticon’s low-fi approach and vocals as oral intonations,
densely layered using analog equipment and computers,
become a highly emotional portrait of inner discontent: vivid
and surreal, whimsical and heartbreaking.
