For one thing different types of mobility, and on the other hand also movement itself. ‘Cause in the end mobility is nothing more or less then movement. In the Symposium „future mobility, a challenge for art & science“ during the ars electronica festival on Friday, the 4th September, the questions went from „how will the car of the future look like?“ to „how do we get people to move back to the villages“ or „how should the post refugee city look like”?
