Between 7th and 12th September 98, the 17th Ars Electronica will take
place under the banner of INFOWAR - information.macht.krieg

INFOWAR sheds light on the strategies and possibilities of
computer-supported conflict ranging from the Gulf War to the activities
of cyberguerillas, as well as assessing the internal logic of the
Information Society in connection with war.

Electronica Symposium and the Prix Ars Electronica constitute the core
