Ars Electronica started in 1979 as a small group of nerds that came togheter to produce cyberarts, digital avant-garde media, digital electronic music and more. Now 25 years later you can experiment with all kinds of new technologies such as walk the internet with SevenMileBoots, interactive plant growing, tracing communications, Pixelspaces, ... If you are around it's definitely worth a visit. Check it out at Ars Electronica"

      Many of the installations sent in for the Prix are exhibited in the OK museum in Linz as well as the Ars Electronica Center.

  2. Weblog about the event (in spanish) by werwerf · · Score: 2, Informative
    My brother his doing is PhD in History of Art with electronic art as subject, so he goes to all of these events (lucky bastard!)

    You can find his weblog about the event here (he is going to kill me for this).
    It's in spanish, so I suppose you can bablefish or something if you don't read Cervantes language.
