Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)
SUN September 7, 2014, 3:30 PM
Akademisches Gymnasium, Gala Room
The transformation that the city as human habitat is now undergoing is the subject matter of The Participatory City, a focal-point theme of the Connecting Cities project. It commissioned works of art in the public sphere that are designed to open up new ways for city dwellers to interact with their metropolis and to create a critical consciousness of ongoing urban processes of change.
Exemplary
The 2014 Ars Electronica Festival is featuring Entangled Sparks and the Smart Citizen Sentiment Dashboard, two outstanding projects that make estimable contributions to what Connecting Cities is attempting to accomplish. An ancillary event gives the curators and artists involved an opportunity to elaborate on their agenda and the individual works.
