ars electronica festival, day 02
day 02 of the ars electronica festival started at at the AEC for me, since hiroshi ishiguro was at the museum. a good chance to see the gemini roboter and the creator at the same time. the ro- boter is quite scary and creepy actually, but also very fasci- nating at the same time.
on the main square was a huge sphere showing all kind of japa- nese games. i decided to go there and take a look at the games. this exhibition actually was a little disappointing since i was expecting top-notch games or would be able to get a glimpse on new technologies, trends, or developments. but this was not the case. all games one could try out there were current games that you could buy at any electronic market nowadays. but at least there were quite a lot of japanese people there, among them a tv-crew that interviewed people there (strange enough the inter- views were in german).
afterwards i was heading to the brucknerhaus again to take a closer look at the exhibits there since i was quite in a rush on the first day and only had a quick glimps on them. nice thing about the brucknerhaus was that they had a free wireless network there too (as almost every location of the ars electronica festival.
since the ars electronica gala was about to start at 18:30 i was staying at the brucknerhaus, met some old friends and had a few coffees. thanks to michele i had a ticket for the gala. the gala was like every year (i guess), but one gets a good overview of all the submissions, nominations, and winners. afterwards an excellent buffet and free drinks. nomnom and kampai!
when i left the brucknerhaus heading back to the AEC quarter the fassadenfestival already started. artists had the opportunity to take over the front of the AEC building. the FM4 radio crew had already started with their performance called "FM4 signs & si- gnals". the sound came from the speakers used for the klangwolke that were placed at the riverbanks of the danube. excellent sound and nice visuals - finally the LED-front of the AEC was used properly.
