Kurt Hentschlager is performing FEED @ Ars Electronica Festival, Linz - 
September  6-8, a return to his hometown Linz!

"Feed is, in todays panorama, the artistic project that can represent  a 
"reference model" and a "change in direction" of a whole scene, the 
multimedia audio-visual art scene. Feed, an audiovisual performance on 
sensorial, spatialized,electronic experimentation produced by austrian 
artist Kurt  Hentschlager (formerly one of the two souls of Granular 
Synthesis)  is, at this time, a project that is unique in its genre, outside 
of  the aesthetic and technical languages currently spoken in the
contemporary world of performances and multimedia installations.  There's 
really nothing to discuss: opinions are in total accordance  among audience 
and critics."
