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...

Their new tables have drawn the grandkids through a portal that leads to other dimensions. It made for a silent part of a Christmas evening.
I got new speakers for the computer room. WoW on the Companion 5's can be fun....not to mention, the keyboard sounds soooo much better.

I was trying to read the specifications on this DC converter.
The area photographed is about 1 cm sq.
I have always loved electronica. None more than the early albums from Dusseldorf's finest. I first them when I was school and my big brother brought home an Autobahn 7"
How many electronica, synthpop, house, and other dance artists don't mention Kraftwerk as an influence. I love the complexity and simplicity - yes, they can go together - of The Robots. But the standout track on this album is m...e...t...r...o...p...o...l...i...s!!

As of the day these are being uploaded - April 15, 2014 - it has been two years since the final day of ElecTRONica. And two years later, I still haven't quite come to terms with the fact that it's never coming back. So, to honor today's "Tronniversary", I dug up some of my old photos I had never posted from the final week of ElecTRONica.
Viva la ElecTRONica~
