Ars Electronica Festival coming up
I’ll be off to linz for the ars electronica festival tomorrow. After some initial trouble with their online ticketing service i got hold of a very nice lady on their helpline and placed my reservation for a festival pass the old-fashioned way. Hopefully everything works out ok, i mean i got a confirmation mail, but with these things i’m never at ease until i hold a ticket in my hands.
I’m looking forward to an incredibly interesting, rewarding, exhausting (in a positive way) week of geeky and artsy stuff. Just skimming over the program (weighing in at 54 digipages) i came across a lot of interesting talks, discussions, workshops, concerts and other events. I also noticed quite a few familiar names, some of whom i’ve been reading for almost 2 years now, like Joi Ito, Bruce Sterling, Lawrence Lessig, Howard Rheingold and Esther Dyson. I’m really looking forward to listening to them in person.
I didn’t have time to pick out the stuff i wanna see yet (somehow pdfs just don’t cut it for me, i should try to get hold of a hardcopy of the program), but i guess i can sort that out on the train.
I’ll try to post notes over the course of next week (starting wednes- or thursday) and keep your eyes open for some live moblog pics from the floors as well.
