Core77 Gallery: Ars Electronica 2010

By Core Jr - September 20, 2010

in Featured Items

A shut down Tobacco Factory in Linz (Austria) is the perfect location for this year's Ars Electronica, a yearly festival for art technology and society attracting almost 100,000 tech lovers from all over the world. In the context of today's surveillance society, financial bankruptcy and climate crisis, this year's theme REPAIR is a call for action in order move things in the right direction. REPAIR looks both back and forward with future oriented exhibitions such as CyberArts and Future Factory - and exhibitions on historical awareness such as Requiem For Dying Species and The World In 100 Years. The over 200 performances, productions and installations including human-like robots, robot-like plants, high-tech laboratories and hands-on workshops make visitors understand the beauty and power of repairing and do-it-yourself. All together, this year's festival is about future, change and how to admit failure. Over three days, Aart van Bezooyen followed this unique event along the Donau river from a rough steel industry site to a delicate research center, also known as the Ars Electronica Center, where the future is born and a robot kid ASIMO makes his debut. Enjoy our gallery and see why those who repair have a future! >> view gallery
