ars electronica festival, day 03 (0 comments)
a performance at the brucknerhaus by prix ars winner lawrence malstaf was my first thing to see on day 03 he and two girls get vacuum packed between layers of transparent PVC. the result is quite strange and fascinating at the same time. people hanging and being forced into a certain pose.
next attraction of the day was the presentation of the creatures for the klangwolke to the public on the main square. loads of animals, loads of people, and as usually loads of press and media people there. yet a very nice spectacle, since all the people of linz seemed to be involved by this huge project. really nice to see the creators of the animals make their puppets move and behave almost as the real animals would do. there were the snails crossing a big street with heavy traffic at a very slow speed, whereas leopards are running around quite fast making huge leaps, scaring off children.
once all the animals were spread all over the town i went to the university of arts again to take a closer look at the exhibits again. a girl was really giving a great performance at the headbanger-hero game. was great fun watching. also i examined the MIT stuff a little closer.
next stop was the lentos museum that has a newly opened exhibition called "see this sound". very weird stuff (actually too weird for me sometimes) in there. will have to go there again one day because they closed the museum and i could not manage to see all the stuff in there. funny thing: all museums were for free with the festival-pass, even the hoehenrausch exhibition in the OK which usually costs around seven euros even with the insider-ticket for linz09). but not this exhibition. it would have cost four euros with the festival-pass, but it's for free with the linz09 insider ticket. pretty confusing pricing policies they have.
finally, at 21:00 the klangwolke started and all the animals had their big appearance. unfortunately i did not have the best point of view so i was mainly listening to the music and watching the fireworks. nonetheless a magnificent spectacle and a great idea to involve the citizens that much with the creatures.
