ARS ELECTRONICA 98, Linz Austria
Festival for Art, Technology and Society
Sept 7. - 12.98

INFOWAR - information. macht. krieg.
Ars Electronica is dedicated to critical reflection on the social
transformations engendered by digital technologies.
The commitment to examining important social and political issues is
continued by this year's theme "INFOWAR - information.macht.krieg".
INFOWAR sheds light on the strategies and possibilities of
computer-supported conflict ranging from the Gulf War to the activities
of cyberguerillas, as well as assessing the internal logic of the
Information Society in connection with war as the "father of all
things". A full schedule of events and performances, installations and
network projects are  clustered around this complex of topics. The Ars
Electronica Symposium and the Prix Ars Electronica constitute the core
of the festival.
