Ars Electronica Festival – Events
Dance and musical performances, nightlines, visualizations and gaming—unforgettable experiences are in store for the evenings of Ars Electronica Festival week!
“An Evening in the Gardens” transforms the old idyllic gardens high above the rooftops of Linz on Freinberg into a setting for sound installations, sound streams, performances and the one-of-a-kind action-cooking of Gordon W’s Scharfness Institut.

The highlight of the festival is the featured event on September 3, 2004: the Ars Electronica Gala and Award Ceremony.

At 9:30 PM, the action shifts to the area surrounding the Ars Electronica Center. The evening lineup includes a new dimension of the game of golf in the Stadtwerkstatt, the “Long Night of Radio Art” on Ö1 Kunstradio, “The Big Score,” a concert without notes by Seppo Gründler and Elisabeth Schimana, and innovative projections by Miko Mikona and Tmema.

“Apparition,” a work by prizewinning composer/media artist Klaus Obermair, will astound the audience present in the Posthof on Saturday, September 4, 2004. This extraordinary dance and media performance is the result of close collaboration by theatrical directors and choreographers with pioneering developers of creative technologies. The integration of interactive sensor and tracking technology enables the dancer to influence the work’s visual and musical environment during the performance.
