ArtFutura 2005. Digital arts and new media festival. October 26, 2005

ArtFutura 2005, the digital arts and new media festival of reference in Spain, will be an event not to miss on October.

The festival will offer a wide range of activities: workshops, conferences, performances, special presentations and a powerful audio-visual program.

Special guest will be Bruce Sterling, one of the most important science-fiction writers of the last twenty years. Other participants will include Hiroshi Ishii, founder of the ?Tangible Media? concept, the interactive systems that regulate themselves via the manipulation of everyday objects.

We also highlight the Theo Jansen's beach creatures, "Strandbeest": huge robot sculptures which use the wind strength as a source of energy.
