What an impressive Ars Electronica festival this year. Interesting talks and I was able to take away many inspiring impressions from the exhibitions. Our exhibition “Expanded Play” was also very well attended and there were many interesting discussions. Thanks to all visitors 🙏

I was also pleased to have the opportunity to briefly present the #Vis4School project and the interesting exchange on the project and possible further developments during our exhibition.

Without the students of FH OÖ - Hagenberg and Masaryk University , the exhibition would not have been possible. Thank you for the inspiring projects 🙏 To my students, thank you for joining the adventure & I am very happy to work with such motivating students. Looking forward to the future.

📢 Finally, I would like to thank Michael Lankes, Jeremiah Diephuis and Juergen Hagler for the great opportunity to be a part of this and for your support and feedback 🙏 🙏 🙏 #ArsElectronica #ExpandedPlay #VR #AR #MR #games #Visualization
