ARS ELECTRONICA 2007 - GOODBYE PRIVACY - AUSTRIA - THIBAULT-THIBAULT - IS YOUR LIFE BETTER? - THIBAULT HOFER - ART,TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY - THIBAULT-T




"Goodbye Privacy” is the theme of this year’s Ars Electronica, the festival extraordinaire of art, technology and society in Linz, Austria. September 5–11, 2007...".
Yummy, yummy, interesting.
This Austrian festival has been around for a long long time. Here's the wiki and the official site. Amazing to see that these guys were already discussing major issues... 10 years in advance. The artistic dimension of the festival also seems very exciting (animation festival, concerts, events, exhibitions, etc...).

Have a look, Dirty Curious Avatar.

You'll even maybe find some answers to these crazy questions:
what is really the effect of all these technological tools on our lives?
Do you really talk more to your cousin in Wisconsin now that you can email, call, twitter, facebook, myspace him?

Is your life better? (fuck, this one is so stupid, I love it).
