Ars Electronica FESTIVAL: "SIMPLICITY is a complex topic that has no single,
simple answer.
We live in an increasingly complex technological world where nothing works like it is supposed to, and
at the end of the day makes all of us hunger for simplicity to some degree. Yet ironically when given the

genetic level to want more.%u201CWould you like the big
cookie or the smaller cookie?%u201D or %u201CWould you like the
computer with ten processors or just one?%u201D The
choice is simple really, or is it?
For the Ars Electronica Symposium on SIMPLICITY

means in politics, life, art, and technology.
Expect more than you can ever imagine, and less."
