Ars Electronica is over and Information Aesthetics has a great writeup on the massive “30 Years of Ars Electronica” exhibit. Some details.
Dietmar explained that the projects were developed by studying 3 main points of the data:
1. Quantitative Analysis: What are the submissions, how many they are and how they are categorized.
2. Social Networks: Who were the jury members throughout the years? How they are connected to each other as well as awarded artists.
3. Art Historical Context: What is the effect of awarded projects in the history? Where they appeared after the awards(i.e. books,exhibitions), how they influenced the genres and fields of media arts.
