ARS ELECTRONICA

Festival for Art, Technology and Society
Linz Thu 4 – Tue 9 September 2008

Under
the banner of “A NEW CULTURAL ECONOMY – The Limits of Intellectual
Property” the 2008 Ars Electronica Festival aims to co-author the
preamble to a new knowledge-based society. What’s at stake: the
interplay of freedom of information and copyright protection, big
profit-making opportunities and the vision of an open knowledge-based
society. And this is also a matter of practical, workable regulations
governing this new reality, rules whose formulation ought not to be
left up to lawyers and MBAs alone.
