Art in Advent

“Art in Advent” will be the motto of Deep Space LIVE on Thursday, 28.11.2019, at the Ars Electronica Center. The focus of this evening will be on a sculpture which is made of manganese steel, is about 13 cm tall and that immediately captures the attention of viewers: “The Future of Mankind” by Michael Blümelhuber, the most important representative of steel-cutting art, shows a child that wants to close the rift in the world caused by the First World War. By means of a gigapixel photo by the Linz photographer Florian Voggeneder, the work of art can be explored down to the smallest detail. The expert commentary is provided by the theologian Dr. Michael Zugmann from the Pastoral Office of the Diocese of Linz and the art historian Dr. Lothar Schultes from the Upper Austrian Provincial Museum. On the Advent Sundays, 1.12., 8.12. and 15.12.2019, “Art in Advent – Future of Mankind” will be repeated.⁠ Credit: Ars Electronica / Robert Bauernhansl⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #arselectronica #arselectronica19 #arselectronicacenter #museum #upperaustria #steelart #sculpture #deepspace8k #visitaustria #uppermoments #visitlinz #linz #gigapixel #advent
