Ars Electronica 2006 . Simplicity

A richly varied program and an incomparable atmosphere are the defining features of the Ars Electronica Festival. In addition to symposia, conferences, concerts and exhibitions, a profusion of art projects installed in public spaces invites those partaking of them to engage in interaction, discussion and dialog. From August 31 to September 5 2006, all of Linz becomes a stage set for media installations, screenings, sound sculptures and enthralling experiences for highly diversified audiences.

Simplicity is a complex topic that has no single, simple answer. Our world’s increasing complexity and its tension-filled interplay with our own growing need for a comprehensive, comprehensible overview of the world will occupy the focal point of attention at Ars Electronica this year. A feature-packed lineup of events, conferences, symposia, exhibitions and performances will provide a detailed and comprehensive view of the state of the art of global media culture.
