Draft:Sankt Interface

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sankt Interface is an annual artistic event organized by the Interface Cultures department at the University of Art and Design Linz (Kunstuniversität Linz) in Austria. The event serves as a celebration of the department's focus on the intersection of art, technology, and society.

Overview

[edit]

‘Sankt Interface’ is an artistic project organized by Interface Cultures which serves also as the annual celebration of our department. It is not a coincidence that it is celebrated around every ninth of December, the same day of 1968 when Douglas Engelbart did his ultra-famous conference, known today as “The Mother of All Demos”. At Sankt Interface, academic conferences, artistic performances, exhibitions, concerts and a “Computer Mouse Award” conform a celebration transforming into a happening in which students, professors, and friends of Interface Cultures participate at the same level.

History

[edit]

Since its inception in 2015, Sankt Interface has grown into a significant gathering for students, professors, and friends of the Interface Cultures department. The event fosters a collaborative environment where participants engage equally in the celebration of innovative interfaces and digital culture.
