art ARS Electronica | Ars Electronica Festival Am 18. September 1979 beginnt das allererste ARS ELECTRONICA FESTIVAL. Ein Pilotprojekt, das die heraufziehende digitale Revolution zum Anlass nimmt, nach der Zukunft zu fragen und diese Recherche an der Schnittstelle von KUNST, TECHNOLOGIE und GESELLSCHAFT ansiedelt. Mit dieser bis heute gültigen Philosophie legen der damalige Intendant des ORF-Landesstudios Oberösterreich HANNES LEOPOLDSEDER, Elektronikmusiker HUBERT BOGNERMAYR, Musikproduzent ULRICH RÜTZEL und der Kybernetiker und Physiker HERBERT W. FRANKE den Grundstein für die Erfolgsgeschichte der Ars Electronica. Binnen weniger Jahre entwickelte sich die Linzer Veranstaltung zu einem der wichtigsten internationalen Festivals für Medienkunst. Bestritten 1979 noch 20 KünstlerInnen und WissenschaftlerInnen das Programm des Festivals, beteiligen sich mehr als drei Jahrzehnte später mehrere Hundert KünstlerInnen, Netzwerk-NomadInnen, TheoretikerInnen und TechnologInnen aus aller Welt.
