Pfarrplatz - Lido

Pfarrplatz, a square in downtown Linz, is the gravitational center of the festival.

An old warehouse on Pfarrplatz will temporarily morph into the Festival Infopoint; the Press Bureau and the Bookshop are also situated there.

Post-Bits

Modeled after paper Post-Its, Post-Bits combine the affordances of physical tiny sticky memos and the digital handling of visual information. Post-Bits function as a kind of physical augmented reality interface, enabling people to arrange multimedia content in embodied physical spaces. Tangible properties of paper such as flipping, flexing, scattering and rubbing are mapped to controlling or perceiving aspects of the multimedia content such as scrubbing, sorting, or up- or down-loading dynamic media (video, graphics, dynamic text).
