origin

The exhibition pushes it’s way out.

Today at 7pm, the exhibition “ORIGIN – Investigating the Big Bang” opens it’s doors. Michael Doser, specialist for anti-matter, introduces us to his work and the work of CERN. Free entrance tonite!

Find first impressions of the exhibition here.

Martin Honzik talks about some ideas behind ORIGIN – how it all begins and CREATE YOUR WORLD – Futurefestival of the next generation. He has been producing the Ars Electronica festivals since 2006 and faces the challenge of producing two festivals at the same time this year. He also tells us what he’s looking forward to, unfortunately the interview is german only with no english subs (as of now…)

“Of course we’ve had our share of skeptics during the planning phase. The question: ‘Do you really think they’re going to be able to pull that off?’ was heard quite a bit in these parts. But now the naysayers are going to have to eat their words.” And Mayor Josef Senzenberger of Ottnang am Hausruck ought to know what he’s talking about. He’s been a regular at Theater Hausruck performances since 2005, and not just because he and his constituents live at the foot of Pettenfirst, one of the locations of previous years’ productions and the setting of the opening event of the 2011 Ars Electronica Festival.

Theater and investigation; archeology; unearthing what’s buried—layer by layer by layer. Upper Austria’s Hausruck region is the site of a fascinatingly dense concentration of events, stories and history. Since 2005 Theater Hausruck has been uncovering these strata, digging and stirring things up, and its successes has been rewarded with sold-out houses and rave reviews. It has transported audiences to the absurdest of locations, left them to grope in the dark and figure out for themselves if they’ve crossed the border between fiction and reality, strapped them into emotional roller coasters, and left them substantially impressed indeed. The Ars Electronica visits the Hausruck and kicks off this year’s festival in an once in a lifetime experience. The first part of the Hausruck-story can be found here.
