Ars Electronica at Arco´06

This project sets out to examine the interconnections between art, science, technology and society. It passes through permeable spaces that provide productive interferences between imageries, concepts and different practices. Overall, it offers a transdisciplinary approach, which we understand as a means of interpreting, exploring and participating in the complex fabric of relationships that forms the basis of contemporary culture. Consequently, Digital Transit becomes a space for communication which links the current technologies of informatics and telecommunications with the visual, sound and scenic arts, architecture and urbanism, science, education, civic participation and the environment

Digital Transit describes an environment interlinked by processes and projects that are taking place on different scales and in different contexts: whether it is a bacterial culture, a human body, an urban fabric, a telecommunications network or an ecosystem. As a whole, the exhibition offers a global, systemic vision that moves from genetics to urbanism, from informatics to education and, in passing, takes a look at the new digital communities sprouting up on the Net.

The exhibition brings together some of the most outstanding projects of digital culture, both Austrian and international, which have won prizes in recent years at the renowned international festival Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria.
