Electric Carnival at Lollapalooza
There's a traveling road show of digital marvels criss-crossing the country
this summer, and it's coming to a town near you. The Electric Carnival is a
featured attraction at Lollapalooza '94's Mind Field. Lollapalooza is a
concert tour founded in 1990 to showcase the best in alternative rock. For the
past four years, the festival has presented numerous prominent alternative
bands,
a second stage of local bands, and a front of the house area with additional
attractions. Sponsored by Interval Research Corporation, Electric Carnival
will present Lollapalooza concert-goers with over 60 kiosks showing 18
different kinds of multimedia exhibits. For the final three weeks, the carnival
will have a satellite Internet connection.
