 Penrose: Against Music: The Prix Ars Electronica
If it is the desire of ARS to encourage composers to extend the boundaries of pure music, then ARS will somehow have to provide facilities for these works to be auditioned as intended by their composers.
Instead, what ARS intends by calling for composers to extend their notions of music is to solely interrelate and effectively relegate sound to other media.
ARS is unjustified in criticizing the recorded sound medium and its composers simply because of their adjudication shortcomings.

It is a valuable publication (I enjoy it!,) but it is almost impossible for it to criticize Ars Electronica because in doing so it would undermine a large part of its own identity.
In _The New Republic_, Kettman also repeats the specious and opportunistic logic that we should accept Ars Electronica's advocacy of eugenics and aesthetic validations of rape because the festival was criticized by Joerg Haider's Freedom Party.
Ars also combines a mixture of progressive scientism, and sometimes even quite liberal transgender concepts, with masculinism, reactionary misogyny and notions of Darwinsitic biological determinism.
