INTERACTIVE, INNOVATIVE and HIGHLY TECHNICALLY SOPHISTICATED – until 18th September the OK in the Upper Austrian Cultural Quarter presents CyberArts 2016, an exhibition in conjunction with Ars Electronica. The works shown come from the Prix Ars Electronica, the international competition of computer art and the most important international showcase for current digital media art.
The OK presents prize-winning works from the categories of Interactive Art, Digital Communities and Computer Animation, along with work by Jasia Reichardt, distinguished this year as Visionary Pioneer of Media Art.
New in the program are the Modular Music Days - a platform for synthesizer enthusiasts. They will also cover part of the program of the legendary OK Night on Saturday, 10th September.
