Ars: 25 years of Tech
Ars Electronica 2004 (Linz, Austria) prepares to question the development of technology in the past 25 years in relation to humanity and thus the position of art (via Wired News):
Have we gotten any smarter over the past quarter century, or have instant access to information and all those wonderful technological advances made us more confused and far crazier than we were in 1979?Gerfried Stocker, the artistic director of the event, poses:
"We're also wondering what will ignite the next generation's potential energy for protest. Will it be a revolt against blanket surveillance by the state? Will the world's youth come together to protest globalization? Will it be the environment? Fundamentalism and the fear of terrorism? And where do technology and art fit in?"
