ARS ELECTRONICA: re:shaping a city’s cultural identity
30 years ago the first Ars Electronica festival took place in Linz, Austria. Ars has grown to be one of the most influential Media Art festivals and centers in the world. But while much has been written about it, and still more will be talked about its history when Ars celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2009, there has not yet been a comprehensive study about Ars Electronica’s influence on the local community and its impact on the cultural development of Linz. This paper investigates the socio-cultural, artistic and geographic traces Ars Electronica has left on the city of Linz. This Media Art historical account also details a very personal history, as the author, being four years old at the time of the first festival and amazed by its fireworks display, remembers the festival’s beginnings from her personal experience and – having worked for Ars Electronica’s Futurelab for many years – from a professional perspective as well.
The main question of this talk is how the then marginal field of art, science and technology, placed in an even more marginal, working-class and steel-producing city contributed greatly to the creation/development of a new cultural identity of the city, the art scene and the community as a whole. My investigation into the histories of this cultural institution focuses on the regional impact, regional being interpreted as geographically located/rooted as well as interpersonally built.

random thoughts on collaboration in digital arts, collection of texts, urls, quotes,…

i just made a backup of our mediaarthistories.blogspot.com blog on wordpress. there are still some bugs to fix – all posts were imported twice and all the original blog-authors were reduced to just one and this can only be “healed” if the blog-authors also create wordpress-accounts, which sux.
one aspect that is very different is that blogspot does not make a difference between tags and categories like wordpress does; and wordpress interpreted all blogspot-tags as wordpress-categories. that is a fundamentally different thing now.
