Ars Electronica

The Ars Electronica is a very fascinating place. It seems by far the most modern of the places we have learned about so far. It will be very interesting to learn about all the upcoming technologies. I do think Santigo had a very good point that the Ars Electronica that is the new Bauhaus in that it is pushing the Art and technology world forward. The Bauhaus was the center for innovation and discover in the graphic design world a few decades ago. Now the Ars Electronica is in the forefront of discovery in many different areas. It allows a platform for Artists who are using technology to push the envelope with their art through the prix and this competition allows the artists to show the world how they have used the 21^st century technologies to make compelling works of art. The Futurelab is also something of great importance due to the fact that that is where research are coming up with new ways to learn and express ourselves through technology. I think as artists and designs it will be highly beneficial when we visit the Ars Electronica because we will be in an epicenter of learning in innovation and as artists we want to know what all artists are doing to push their art farther in order to push our own art farther and into the 21^st century as the artist whose work is displayed in the Ars Electronica are doing.

               The city of Linz is also considered to be an epicenter of art and culture which will be very beneficial to experience all that culture in one city in order to broaden me mind and perspective as both a person and an artist.
