Aside from, in addition to, in keeping with the official text of the announcement, though, which qualities, skills, abilities would be most important for the director of Ars Electronica?
[ --------------------------------------------- ]
Admittedly, since I live in Linz, I have no doubts about the importance of Ars Electronica as a festival and center. However, Ars Electronica - in whatever form it may be imagined - also provokes reactions and reflections from many people in different places for different reasons (e.g. "Don't call it art"). For that reason, while the "Executive Search" is on until June 19th and hopefully many wonderful and qualified people are sending in their applications, I would like to raise the question, what makes a good director?
