Das Ars Electronica Center, auch als „Museum der Zukunft“ bezeichnet, ist ein Museum in Linz. Es wurde 1996 in Linz-Urfahr eröffnet und hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Technologien der kommenden Generationen bereits in der Gegenwart für jede Altersstufe erfahrbar zu machen. Wikipedia
Museum of the Future / Museum der Zukunft
Taken through the not particularly clean and quite thick cabin window onboard the cruising ship (the window was at water level). I did not have a tripod, but could lean on the window sill. Cruising ships on the Danube aren't that big, ours had a maximum "capacity" of 242 passengers, but the ship wasn't booked out. My first cruising trip ever, not sure, if it's my cup of tea ;-).
The illuminated building you see here is the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, also called "museum of the future", as it presents different, pioneering technologies (digital, communication, science...) to
its visitors. It was first opened in 1996. When Linz was chosen as the European Capital of Culture (together with Lithuania's capital Vilnius) for 2009, the Ars Electronica Center was reconstructed,
and reopened on January 2nd, 2009. The museum is located alongside the River Danube. Linz is Austria's third-largest city and the capital of its federal state Upper Austria. It has a population of 200,841 (as of January 2016). An interesting geographical fact is that Linz is located in the centre of Europe, lying on the Paris-Budapest west-east axis, and the Malmö-Trieste north-south axis.
Aufgenommen durch das nicht besonders saubere und ziemlich dicke Kabinenfenster des Kreuzfahrtschiffs, das Fenster befand sich auf Wasserhöhe. Zwar hatte ich kein Stativ dabei, aber die Fensterbank war eine gute Stütze. Die Flusskreuzfahrtschiffe auf der Donau sind relativ klein, ein Schiff dieses Typs kann maximal 242 Passagiere aufnehmen, unseres war aber nicht voll ausgebucht. Meine erste Schiffsreise... könnte auch meine letzte gewesen sein ;-).
Im Bild zu sehen ist das Ars Electronica Center in Linz, das auch "Museum der Zukunft" genannt wird. Es öffnete 1996 seine Pforten. Das Museum zeigt "verschiedenste Kunst-, Wissenschafts- und Technologierichtungen", die vielleicht morgen schon zu unserem Alltag gehören werden. Das Museum wurde anlässlich der Wahl von Linz zur Europäischen Kulturhauptstadt für das Jahr 2009 (gemeinsam mit der Litauischen Hauptstadt Vilnius) zwei Jahre lang
aufwendig renoviert und am 2. Januar 2009 wiedereröffnet. Das Museum liegt am nördlichen Donau-Ufer an der Nibelungenbrücke. Linz ist Österreichs drittgrößte Stadt, die Haupststadt von Oberösterreich und hat, Stand Januar 2016, 200.841 Einwohner. Aus geografischer Sicht interessant: Linz liegt in der Mitte Europas auf der west-östlichen Paris-Budapest- und der nord-südlichen Malmö-Triest-Achse.

I have been listening to mostly 70s electronic music (Kraftwerk, Neu! etc.) and it kind of sounds organic and industrial and abstract, which is what I have tried to capture here.
These are pins from one of those pin art toys that mould to the shape of the object pressed onto them.
This picture is from the lightwriting workshop at the ARS ELECTRONICA 2008.
Thanks to all the participants, it was very nice working with you...

Das Ars Electronica Center besticht seit 2009 durch eine funktionale sowie optisch überzeugende Architektur. Membran zwischen musealem Innenleben und umliegendem Stadtraum ist eine das gesamte Gebäude einfassende, gläserne und 5.100 Quadratmeter große LED-Fassade, die künstlerisch von PassantInnen am Abend über das Fassadenterminal an der Donaulände bespielt werden kann.

Shinjuku (Japanese: 新宿区, Hepburn: Shinjuku-ku) is a special ward in Tokyo, Japan. It is a major commercial and administrative centre, housing the northern half of the busiest railway station in the world (Shinjuku Station) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the administration centre for the government of Tokyo. As of 2015, the ward has an estimated population of 337,556, and a population density of 18,517 people per km². The total area is 18.23 km². Since the end of the Second World War, Shinjuku has been a major secondary center of Tokyo (fukutoshin), rivaling to the original city center in Marunouchi and Ginza. It literally means "New Inn Ward".
Shinjuku is also commonly used to refer to the entire area surrounding Shinjuku Station. The southern half of this area and of the station in fact belong to Yoyogi and Sendagaya districts of the neighboring Shibuya ward.
Shinjuku is surrounded by Chiyoda to the east; Bunkyo and Toshima to the north; Nakano to the west, and Shibuya and Minato to the south.
The current city of Shinjuku grew out of several separate towns and villages, which have retained some distinctions despite growing together as part of the Tokyo metropolis.
East Shinjuku (or administratively called Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku): The area east of Shinjuku Station and surrounding Shinjuku-sanchome Station, historically known as Naito-Shinjuku, houses the city hall and the flagship Isetan department store, as well as several smaller areas of interest:
Kabukichō: Tokyo's best-known red-light district, renowned for its variety of bars, restaurants, and sex-related establishments.
Golden Gai: An area of tiny shanty-style bars and clubs. Musicians, artists, journalists, actors and directors gather here, and the ramshackle walls of the bars are literally plastered with film posters.
Shinjuku Gyo-en: A large park, 58.3 hectares, 3.5 km in circumference, blending Japanese traditional, English Landscape and French Formal style gardens.
Shinjuku Ni-chōme: Tokyo's best-known gay district.
Nishi-Shinjuku: The area west of Shinjuku Station, historically known as Yodobashi, is home to Tokyo's largest concentration of skyscrapers. Several of the tallest buildings in Tokyo are located in this area, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, KDDI Building and Park Tower.
Ochiai: The northwestern corner of Shinjuku, extending to the area around Ochiai-minami-nagasaki Station and the south side of Mejiro Station, is largely residential with a small business district around Nakai Station.
Ōkubo: The area surrounding Okubo Station, Shin-Okubo Station and Higashi-Shinjuku Station is best known as Tokyo's historic ethnic Korean neighborhood after World War Ⅱ.
Totsuka: The northern portion of Shinjuku surrounding Takadanobaba Station and Waseda University, today commonly referred to as Nishi-Waseda. The Takadanobaba area is a major residential and nightlife area for students, as well as a commuter hub.
Toyama: A largely residential and school area, in the east of Ōkubo and south of Waseda University, extending to the area around Nishi-Waseda Station, Gakushuin Women's College and Toyama Park.
Ushigome: A largely residential area in the eastern portion of the city.
Ichigaya: A commercial area in eastern Shinjuku, site of the Ministry of Defense.
Kagurazaka: A hill descending to the Iidabashi Station area, once one of Tokyo's last remaining hanamachi or geisha districts, and currently known for hosting a sizable French community.[5]
Yotsuya: An upscale residential and commercial district in the southeast corner of Shinjuku. The Arakichō area is well known for its many small restaurants, bars, and izakaya.
"Shinjuku" is often popularly understood to mean the entire area surrounding Shinjuku Station, but the Shinjuku Southern Terrace complex and the areas to the west of the station and south of Kōshū Kaidō are part of the Yoyogi and Sendagaya districts of the special ward of Shibuya.
Naturally, most of Shinjuku is occupied by the Yodobashi Plateau, the most elevated portion of which extends through most of the Shinjuku Station area. The Kanda River runs through the Ochiai and Totsuka areas near sea level, but the Toshima Plateau also builds elevation in the northern extremities of Totsuka and Ochiai. The highest point in Shinjuku is Hakone-san in Toyama Park, 44.6 m above sea level.
