While the bad weather certainly doesn't help to make everyone happy here in Linz, i have to say that i am more than pleasantly surprised by this year's ars electronica festival. The artworks on exhibit are mostly stunning and very appealing. All the stuff in the O.K. and the "augmented sculpture" (to name a few) are stunning!
I was quite sceptical when i learned that a large amount of projects was centered around Second Life (which i actually don't fond so much) but i have to say that there are so many things that turned out well. I might write something up about that at some point, or maybe i won't.
One thing i have (and love) to point out though, which is truly amazing, is hannah's (and mika's) back-rub massage gamepad from the IC student exhibition - WHERE YOU CAN PLAY TEKKEN WHILE GIVING A MASSAGE!!!!
