Interface Cultures - iWilson
Art and utility—not necessarily a harmonious pairing. An essential element of artistic freedom is the right to think up and make things that are at first glance totally useless. Designers and technologists are the ones who helpfully intervene in human-machine coexistence. But only artistic confrontations that break out of the confines of practical considerations produce what is truly unexpected and really new. The eminently useful useless is thus the driving force behind the development of the works featured in this exhibition by Linz Art University’s Interface Cultures program.
Instructors: Christa Sommerer (AT), Laurent Mignonneau (FR), Martin Kaltenbrunner (AT), Marlene Hochrieser (AT), Michaela Ortner (AT)
