The Spitz Hotel in Linz, Austria has decided to change its look. Several artists show their work throughout the hotel. In the lobby there is a display that resembles a bookcase which shows Linz’s events, activities and it’s cultural institutions. One of the more interesting facts about this hotel is it’s Reactive Wall. When one walks by it creates a computer visualization. One’s actions create the image in real time. On the first level, individual rooms showcase artist’s work. If a guest would like to know more about their work, they can use the video channel or log on to Ars Electronica’s website to read more about them. I believe this renovation is a wonderful idea for certain hotels or other places of entertainment, however I hope this does not become the trend as I like to see old style hotels rather than futuristic ones.
