TELE-INTERNET is an organically growing structure, a hacker space, a (un)conference, a stage, an exhibition, a social performance, Commune 0/1, and a site for anyone who’s interested in discussing the development of the internet, exchanging  ideas, and presenting their own projects. Ars Electronica festivalgoers are invited to take the plunge and join the fun, to contribute to the discussion, or to chill out on the couch with a clubmate and a notebook.
