Ars Electronica Animation Festival

The works submitted to the 2007 Prix Ars Electronica came from 63 countries. Films were entered by industry pros as well as artists and students from around the world. These are films that tell their stories in very individualized ways that are well-suited to the medium being used; works that cast a spotlight on our society, or entertain us in an intelligent way and thereby demonstrate the power of illusion of motion pictures. From almost 1,500 curators of the 2007 Ars Electronica Animation Festival have put together 10 programs that, for the first time, will be screened simultaneously to interested, curious and open audiences in Linz, at the Museumsquartier in Vienna and in our partner city, Kiev.
Curated by Christine Schöpf (AT) / Ivan Tsupka (UA)
In cooperation with Natalia Manzhali, Liudmyla Motsiuk - New Media Art Lab, Kiew (UA)

Storm

Together with BJ Nilsen Chris Watson collected field recordings from storm fronts developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia composed and mixed into a sublime experience of the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea. Storm is produced by Touch # Tone 27 and includes an introduction by the artist himself. This wasn’t the first collaboration between the Briton and the Swede (“Wind and Land,” two albums by Nilsens Hazard), but “Storm” is the first album that’s being presented as a joint project. Of several significant storm fronts which developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia during December 2000 the artists from the British label Touch recorded some of these on the Baltic coast for their collaborative cd project based around their mutual interests in the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea. For the next years they gathered recordings on their respective coastlines and islands during the very active weather windows during the autumnal equinox and winter solstice.

I Forgot I Never Remembered - Sound Installation

A flat, 50-meter-long metal channel extends the entire length of the nave, through the entry portal and out into the square in front of the church. As a gutter, the loosely netted sheet-metal strip isn’t much good at transporting moisture, but, having been worked into a multi-channel resonating surface, it has a story all its own to tell.

Watch out for GUERILLADISCO!

Mobile Wireless Headphone Disco in a Public Space

Linz’s Main Square as dance floor. In the "Guerillabus," an electronically pimped-out mobile transmission facility, artists will be taking turns at the turntables to delight dancers with music delivered via wireless headphones. Movers and shakers will be able to choose between two channels dispensing two completely different styles of music. The dance floor thus breaks down optically into two very dissimilar groups.

fair music

Start of the fair music initiative of mica –music austria and presentation of the winners of the fair music award

Music fans have a right to listen to the exact music they want to. Creative artists have a right to receive recognition and compensation for their work and ideas. Listeners assume the money they spend for music will benefit the artists of their choice. But can they really be assured that the artists receive their fair share of the proceeds, and that the artists are allowed to make their music in a free and creative atmosphere and under fair conditions?
