The Ars Electronica Festival for Media Art in Linz is coming up

The Ars Electronica is one of the biggest Media Art festivals worldwide and well respected around the globe. Radical Atoms and the alchemists of our time is the title of this years edition and besides fantastic science / technology / art there will be tons of great artists performing extraordinary music from 9th of September till 12th of September in Linz.

On the opening day tomorrow the train shed at former Postal Service Logistics Center in Linz will be used as concert venue. Even that is already spectacular.
