Early Web projects 95+

In the early years of the public internet, I started teaching soon after my diploma, leading the web and design department of the Futurelab at the Ars Electronica Museum, and realising the most important and extensive websites in the city. On the side, I ran the second audio server of “real-networks” in Europe.

97 | ARS ELECTRONICA Futurelab Website
Since the founding of Ars Electronica in 1979, it has undergone a continuous process of enhancement through the addition of essential new features. The Ars Electronica Futurelab is the latest manifestation of this. At the same time, the facility is a tangible expression of the Ars Electronica Center’s endeavor to develop activities which go beyond its pedagogical function as a museum. A step in this direction was taken with the establishment of the Research and residence Program; setting up the Futurelab was the next one.

Language and Politics
This web-site combines a variety of textual, visual and audio-visual elements that reflect the learning of foreign languages as art practice of Rainer Ganahl. Basic Linguistics is a text that will inform you more on these studying activities and it’s context.
Glocal Languages is a discussion on issues of language and politics. The discussion is intended to last about 8 weeks or longer if there is continued interest. If you want to participate in this mailing list, please contact rganahl@thing.net.
