Poesie der Bewegung
Ars Electronica Center
Level +2
In a world whose inhabitants have armed themselves to the teeth with computers, cellphones, GPS receivers and other digital devices, artists have gotten into the swing of things and designed machines that, rather than serving automation and efficiency maximization, showcase mechanical motion as a purely aesthetic experience. They have animated these mechanisms with the breath of life; they give narrative accounts with them, these artfully construed apparatuses that open up realms in which elements of fantasy and imagination can come out and play.
