Ars Electronica Highlights (September, 4)
Great music, impressive visuals and projections, and fascinating fireworks—the visualized Linzer Klangwolke promises to be a spectacular extravaganza again this year!
This open-air event has established itself as a Linz tradition and annually attracts thousands of spectators to the park along the banks of the Danube. Following his success with “Progression” in 1999, Austrian composer/producer Peter Wolf will provide acoustic and visual highlights again in 2004 with “Sense-ation.”
At 7:30 PM, the Posthof will be the venue of an extraordinary dance and media performance entitled “Apparition.” This work is the result of close collaboration among experienced theatrical directors, choreographers and leading developers of creative technology. Interactive sensor and tracking technology enable the dancers to communicate with the stage set and the musical accompaniment and to influence them.
The O.K Night beginning at 10 PM in the O.K Center for Contemporary Art will present “Electronic Theater” featuring prizewinning works from the Prix Ars Electronica’s Computer Animation / Visual Effects category. In the facility’s exhibition spaces, visitors have the opportunity to check out projects that have been singled out for recognition in the Interactive Art category. And for attendees’ musical enjoyment, Felix Kubin will give a live concert.
September 4 – 7, 2004 in Moviemento, Ars Electronica will present three film programs featuring works by students attending IAMAS, an art institute in Japan. Beginning at 11:30 PM, Japanese DJs and VJs will be providing audio and video excitement for the daily “Quarter Nightline” in the Stadtwerkstatt.
The last two segments of the TIMESHIFT Symposium will begin at 10:30 AM in the Brucknerhaus. The third session, “SPIRIT,” treats beauty, passion and inner drive. Here, participants will turn within to consider the self. The final session, “TOPIA,” is devoted to the world in 25 years. Participants will delve into highly complex, creative and bold scenarios dealing with many different artistically, technologically and socially relevant themes.
At a two-day workshop by Digi-Arts, the UNESCO knowledge portal, dealing with the expansion of university-level education in art, design and technology in the Arab world, interest will be focused on cooperation with countries in the Mediterranean region and thus on international and intercultural dialog.
