electrolobby
The “experimental array” for the presentation of digital art forms that are actually “impossible to exhibit” has long since established itself as a must-attend annual get-together at Ars Electronica. In recent years, European net-artists, Asian game developers, American hacktivists and African trash-artists have enlivened the lobby of the Brucknerhaus, presenting themselves and their artistic strategies to an occasionally somewhat nonplussed audience.
The electrolobby is not an exhibition space for projects; instead, it’s a meeting place, a forum that takes up the question of the design and mediation of the transitory, process-oriented variants of digital art to be found behind the monitors, in the networks and between the program lines of digital code.
With the electrolobby Kitchen, this festival within a festival has created a discourse domain of its own in which the electrolobby artists put their positions and works up for discussion and turn a critical eye to what’s been going on at the festival.
