The Mobile Ö1 Atelier is once again turning Linz’s Main Square into a main stage of the Ars Electronica Festival. One of the highlights is the ORF’s summer radio series Land und Laute, a compilation of genuine Austrian radio art produced by Anatol Bogendorfer, Florian Sedmak (Hörstadt/AT) and Walter Gerischer-Landrock (ORF Ö1/AT). They’re 36 selected audible tidbits picked up somewhere in this tonally exceptional land. How flora and fauna can be raised together synergistically will be demonstrated by Aquaponic-Austria (AT) and the GNZ GesmbH (AT). On Hauptplatz, they’re setting up an aquaponics system hosting a self-sustaining cycle in which fish and vegetables can thrive with and via each other.

This arboretum’s solitary representative on Hauptplatz will keep festivalgoers there abreast of the acoustic happenings.
