Welcome to the POSTCITY! At the entrance of the former postal and parcel distribution center you can not only purchase your ticket for the 2016 Ars Electronica Festival – this is also the starting point for our WE GUIDE YOU tours and the central meeting point in the POSTCITY.
The highlight of the final day of the festival features encounters of both a sensory as well as intellectual nature with electronic and experimental music. Accompanied by musician/musicologist Werner Jauk (AT), festivalgoers will enjoy close-up contacts with creative artists as well as first-hand insights into the music and tonal worlds conjured up at the festival.
Join us on a tour through the POSTCITY, the main festival venue of the 2016 Ars Electronica Festival, situated amidst the main train station’s yard. Besides sightseeing, we’ll be facing some highly topical issues at the nexus of art, technology and society.
