Cry for alp

As the England football team feel the bruises after making fools of themselves playing Austria on Saturday night, they could do worse than pop along to the Ars Electronic festival - "art, technology and society" - which finishes today in Linz.

Those taking home the festival's big prizes - the "Golden Nicas" - include:

Chris Landreth for Ryan, a tribute to Canadian animating legend Ryan Larkin; the collaborative wiki encyclopedia Wikipedia; Mark Hansen's fascinating listening post; and the Creative Commons licence.

Comment: Actually, it's probably better that the England team stayed away: that David James wouldn't know his Ars from his elbow.
