ARS review

As promised, though it is not sunday, here a review from the ARS electronica festival in Linz last week.
Dough&Fruit were invited to attend the festival, to our pitty it was only possible for us to be there one day.

Anyhow we knew the ARS from the time before it was reopened and never really liked being there.
This changed as we walked into the new builing and stood impressed in the massive entry hall.
But this was only the beginning of a long day full of "oohs" and "aaahs".
We think that the festival was a success although many critics say it was lame and to unorganized. What ever! We had fun!. enjoy the pictures.

Her work has a complex relation with feminism. "My favourite author when I was twelve or thirteen, Virgina Andrews, wrote gothic tale...
