New Digital Standards and their impact on freedom of information: current consequences and strategies for an independent public sphere This year’s Ars Electronica festival theme 'Code – The Language of Our Time' poses the question of the socially regulative implications of the digital codes that are omnipresent in modern Information Society and define the rules by which we communicate in a networked world.
