Catalogue: Kunst der Szene

In 1988, "The Art of the Scene" was the general topic of Ars Electronica's programme as conceived by the Brucknerhaus. It focused on the fusion of various disciplines of art. Composers, stage designers, choreographers, video and filmmakers created joint projects for the Festival. Audio Art was included into the Festival programme and the Video Stage paid tribute to 30 years of Video Art in America. The Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ORF organized the second "Prix Ars Electronica", chose "The Electronic Cinema" as a topic for the Ars Electronica Days of Computer Culture and provided a meeting-point for computer artists from East and West with the East-West Dialogue.
