“All of Linz – A Group Photo from Above”
Ars Electronica’s invitation to a “group portrait” on Saturday, September 8, 2007 is meant to stage a mise en scène in which the city and its residents come across in the best possible light! The observed thereby become performers and take the process of being observed to the point of absurdity. The exhortation to “Please smile, you’re being photographed!” is meant to politely summon every man, woman and child to go outside and direct his or her message to the heavens—for instance, via banner or human chain, a “creatively” mowed lawn or a work of art.
