    The Cloud in the Net
    Linz, Saturday, September 1, 2012

    Breathtaking technical effects, spectacular interplay of human and robotic protagonists, thousands of brilliantly glowing letters and artistic illumination of the cityscape of the Austrian city of Linz itself, singing lightning bolts and wonderful worlds of sound compose this Klangwolke, an account of the interconnectedness of our world. The Brucknerhaus and Ars Electronica are precipitating the voestalpine Klangwolke, the cloud of sound that forms above the city of Linz in September. And anyone can become a part of this “cloud in the Net”; everyone can contribute their own musical fragments or homemade letters of light to this extravaganza.

    By way of historical background: The Linzer Klangwolke (Cloud of Sound) is in every respect a truly extraordinary open-air event that has been held annually since 1979 in early September in the Donaupark of the Austrian city of Linz. This verdant oasis extending about 500 meters along the Danube riverbank right in the heart of downtown Linz is enveloped in a cloud of sound generated by 250,000 watts of electrical power. Its defining features are the innovative, creative use of new multimedia technologies, the enormous physical scale of the production itself, and the attendance regularly topping 100,000.

A rebellion against the mass production found in today’s consumer goods, it concentrates on individually crafted items that reflect the classical aesthetics of the late 19th century, with a twist of dynamic industrial influences and an often whimsical sense of fun.
