From the Brucknerhaus to the Lentos, from the O.K Center for Contemporary Art to the University of Art and Design Linz, and from the Ars Electronica Center to Donaupark, events, concerts and performances invite festivalgoers to encounter world-class media art.

FEED
Performance for Unreal Characters, Fog, Stroboscopes & Pulse Lights, 2005-07
FEED combines what seems to be two very different qualities in a single performance. The “cinematic” beginning features the choreographed movements of human-like 3D figures trapped in a weightless state.

Ars Electronica 2007 Opening Event
The Festival’s grand opening evening event will take place at Linz’s Botanical Garden and in the so-called Aktienkeller, a cave-like gallery beneath the garden—two places that served during the Nazi era as subsidiary camps of the nearby Mauthausen concentration camp. Creative artists from around the world will utilize artistic means that bring forth highly individual worlds of thought, image and sound to raise issues having to do with memories, the part they play in visions and utopias, as well as the fundamental right of artistic freedom.more

Accoustic Memories of Landscape Soundings
Klangpark 2007 features a remix of Landscape Soundings, a 1990 work by Bill Fontana (UK), as a way of calling attention to the important role of experimental radio art as a forerunner of the Web 2.0 media formats that are currently getting so much hype. The 40th anniversary of the ORF – Austrian Broadcasting Company’s radio station Ö1 and the 20th anniversary of ORF Kunstradio provide a very suitable occasion.
