What is the “Ars Electronica Campus Exhibition”?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Campus Exhibition was begun in 2001 as part of the Ars Electronica 
Festival. It introduces an educational institution engaged in media art 
education, which strives to integrate art and technology. The first 
exhibition presented the Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst Wien 
(University of Applied Arts Vienna) and the following years Campus 
Exhibitions were held by the Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln, (Academy 
of Media Arts in Cologne, Germany) and the Hochschule für Gestaltung 
und Kunst Zürich (University of Art, Media and Design in Zurich, 
Switzerland). This year, IAMAS was selected as the school to be 
introduced at this event. The works will be exhibited on three floors 
of the Linz’s University of Art, and video works will be screened at a 
cinema in the city. During the exhibition period, workshops, lectures 
and sound performances will also be held.
