Conditions like Alzheimer’s disease affect sufferers’ short-term memory, thought processes, speech, mobility and, in some cases, even their personality structure. The progressive loss of memory (and self-control) is a drastic and currently irreversible change that is a severe blow to the victim as well as his/her loved ones. The 2013 Ars Electronica Festival and the Evangelisches Diakoniewerk Gallneukirchen invite festivalgoers to deal with the subject of dementia, which, in light of our aging society, might well become extremely widespread in the future.
Musical Remembrance
Acoustic memories—for instance, recollections of certain pieces of music—are among the forms of stored information that endure the longest. Ars Electronica und Diakonie Gallneukirchen cordially invite you to an entertaining afternoon featuring coffee, cake and Musical Remembrance. Meet people suffering from dementia who are receiving care at the Diakoniewerk’s centers in Gallneukirchen, Linz and Wels.
