Report From Ars Electronica 2008: A New Cultural Economy


In it's 29th year as the one of the most important media arts festivals in the world, Ars Electronica 2008 focused on trying to make sense of the economic and social realities of a "knowledge-based" society, where limits of intellectual property and aging copyright laws are beginning to lose relevance in an increased international atmosphere of open systems, sharing information across networks, and collective artistic action and utility. This year's theme was "A New Cultural Economy", a vision of the present and future that imagined cultural and artistic exchange and remixing as a key indicator of the success of current and future generations. Through this 6 day festival, events ranged from conferences, exhibitions, performances, to student exhibitions such as a wide range of projects from the University of Tokyo entitled "Towards a New Horizon of Hybrid Art."

DISCUSSION

Art In Your Pocket


I never mentioned that the iPhone was "more open" once, I just mentioned that Apple has sold over 31 million iPhones which is more than any of the platforms you mentioned, thus giving these artists a huge audience - rather than a niche one which the open platforms you mentioned cater to.

Art In Your Pocket


Just wanted to chime in here to point out that none of these comments have anything to do with the "ART" itself, which is what the piece was focusing on. I guess Nick is the main culprit here who obviously didn't even look at the art discussed and basically created a punching bag of the iPhone platform. It seems that hardware will always eclipse software. Nice try, thanks for attempting to read though.
