getting ready for my yearly trip to linz to visit ars electronica. this will be my last visit, my tenth in a row. in fact i already wanted to call it after my last visit, but since this year linz is also cultural capital of europe, i decided to add another year.
the conference theme, human nature, does not grab me instantly. i like the wordplay, switching human nature, an expression commonly used to describe behavior based on our human predicament, upside down to mean nature dominated by humans. but i am sure it will be very interesting. as usual i go there with an open mind to see what will inspire me. and i am sure there will be a ton of stuff. i want to keep this year blog posts less report-like, but do more small inputs. see how it goes.
in a bout of swine flu paranoia i booked myself a single room on the night train to linz. it cost me a bundle, but i will so enjoy having my own space and to be able to store the foldable bicycle in there. next input from linz.
Und ich verpasse es einmal mehr. Vielleicht nächstes Jahr.
Auf jeden Fall freue ich mich über deine Berichte… Gruss.
