- 1979 -
Ars Electronica was established in 1979. Although just 26 years ago, in terms of digital history, it's more like the dark ages. If you think about it like that, the people of Linz just rock!
We asked a number of people why Linz began Ars. I mean, how many digital fanatics could there have been in this tiny little European town over twenty years ago? In actuality, the answer is quite connected to industry and tourism.

- 155 cm Dance duo -
One of our guests that time introduced us to some friends of theirs. They became our next guests - this network of friends is propelling AAL forward!
The artists this time are a hot dance duo and friends of Yasuhiro Suzuki, the Ho Ho Do! Hear them roar! They have heard of something called "Ars" way off yonder, but it seems this is the first time they've ever seen visual images of the event. They had a great time though, laughing and commenting...made me feel wonderful. All of sudden, I felt like their prisoner. Check out their guest page!
