> achieve artistic autonomy, and the aesthetics of codes.

>
> Ars Electronica presents several exhibitions as a forum for the
> artistic perspective on the festival theme.
> The CODE Exhibition in the Brucknerhaus shows works of international
> artists whose concepts focus on code and utilize software as a medium
> of the artistic production.
> Ars Electronica Center Exhibition presents new projects and
> installations in the museum and in the surrounding Ars Electronica
> Quarter. From the new flying machine, animations for the elevator of
> the museum to projects which provoke the visitors's interaction with
> the installation.

> 5. Electrolobby
> ………………………..
>
> The electrolobby is not an exhibition space for projects; instead,
> it's a meeting place, a forum that takes up the question of the design
> and mediation of the transitory, process-oriented variants of digital
> art to be found behind the monitors, in the networks and between the
> program's lines of digital code. With the electrolobby Kitchen, this
> festival within a festival has created a discourse domain of its own
> in which the electrolobby artists put their positions and works up for
> discussion and turn a critical eye to what's been going on at the
> festival.
>
>
> ………………………..
> 6. Prix Ars Electronica
> ………………………..
>
> The Prix Ars Electronica is the platform on which cyberartists working
> in a wide range of fields all over the world get together each year.
> The presentation of the results in the form of exhibitions,
> discussions with the artists, performances, concerts and screenings
> presented in conjunction with the Ars Electronica Festival provides a
> highly concentrated overview of current positions in the cyberarts.

> ………………………..
> 7. CODE Campus - Media-Art-Education
> ………………………..
> The Department of Media & Art at the University of Art, Media and
> Design in Zurich defines itself as a laboratory and proving ground for
> the artistic use of analog and digital media. The results of a
> collaborative effort on the part of this Swiss academy and the
> University of Art in Linz are showcased in an exhibition focusing on
> the influence exerted by and the consequences of digitization in the
> arts. Works by undergraduates, 2003 master's degree projects, and work
> in progress from various fields of instruction and research will be on
> display. An exhibition that substantiates the exciting future of media
> art.
