ARS ELECTRONICA, one of the world's top names in digital art and media, is making its first appearance at VW's showcase venue in Berlin, Automobil Forum Unter den Linden. "Poetry in Motion," an exhibition created especially for the German capital, will run June 25-September 5, 2010. The works that comprise it constitute a fascinating synthesis of art, technology, science and socio-cultural development.
"Poetry in Motion" features kinetic artworks that present mechanical motion as an aesthetic experience. These are interactive installations-visitors are invited to engage in hands-on encounters and marvel at the magical moments that result. Artistic machines created by 10 artists from Europe, Japan and the USA tell stories that make this exhibition a fascinating experience.
Volkswagen's Automobil Forum Unter den Linden, in light of its substantive and conceptual orientation, is a most appropriate setting for ARS ELECTRONICA's first exhibition in Germany. This high-profile venue is a showroom of mobility-here, Volkswagen AG showcases its Bentley, Bugatti, SEAT, Skoda, Volkswagen and Volkswagen Utility vehicles-as well as a place of encounters in which visitors experience an interesting lineup of photographic, artistic and scientific exhibitions.
