Ars Electronica 2012 Interim Results
(Linz, July 1, 2012) At the conclusion of the first half of 2012, Ars Electronica Linz GmbH is pleased to report excellent year-to-date results. Two particularly notable bright spots are the project revenues generated by the Ars Electronica Futurelab and AE Solutions. “For the current year, we’re projecting 70% higher revenues from these two divisions. In other words, we’re now estimating gross revenues from projects at €5.9 million,” said a delighted Diethard Schwarzmair. With a total of 74,500 visitors thus far in 2012, the Ars Electronica Center is maintaining last year’s record pace. And work is underway on the next big attractions: the voestalpine Klangwolke at the end of August and the Ars Electronica Festival in early September. Preparations have already been wrapped up for the “Impetus and Movement” exhibition opening on July 11 at Automobil Forum Unter den Linden in Berlin.
