Ars Electronica Festival · 1993
Piazza Virtuale
by Van Gogh TV
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 1993
Van Gogh TV's “Piazza Virtuale” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 1993, category Interactive Art.
'The piazza or town square used to be the center of urban life. People came together to talk, play, buy, sell, make music, paint...' It is this exchange, this dialog, which lends the square its life, color, and resonance. But the spirit of most public spaces today is lifeless. Public life no longer takes place here.
