STWST48 - crashing the information in 48 hours
http://stwst48.stwst.at/
A Stadtwerkstatt project
http://stwst.at
17:00, September 4 (Friday) - 17:00, September 6 (Sunday)
Stadtwerkstatt, Kirchengasse 4, A-4040 Linz, Austria
Convert yourself into E-waste, ferment yourself,
chase honeybees for weather report, launch fungi
to outerspace, send your mobile on a slow boat to
China, set your electric sheep free range, grow
your android plants, tune in to ghostradio,
stream in the orchestra, piss off to compute, eat
your data raw, read your pulse loud, make your
own bed, make love to your tattoo, hand over your
hangover, take a dip in the Danube, check into
the underwater eel hotel, admits yourself to a
world without compromise, a world in which dreams
greet reality and technology is treated with
great caution.
In 2015, Stadtwerkstatt, the nerve center of
Linz' free/open culture takes up "the nature of
information" as a matter of inquiry and launches
information LAB to house its many ongoing
information research projects. For Stadtwerkstatt
which always presents a reference to the
established system, an information laboratory is
a challenge of the presence. While the world of
natural sciences updates and releases information
through logical conclusions, the information LAB
retrieves seemingly meaningless information data
without seeking conclusive arguments. It is about
the interplay between reality and information,
about the observation of observation, taking in
contingency randomness in the process of encoding
unique information, looking deeper into concepts
of decision-making and conclusion.
From STWST cultural space to Am Winterhafen where
Messschiff Eleonore is anchored, along the
Danube, cross the continents, STWST48 - crashing
the information in 48 hours brings together
events/non-events, information/non-information,
hack/fab labs, reality/dreams,
unfiltered/raw/random/mined/cooked/processed
infodata. The 48 hour programs are organized
under the four headlines - infoLAB, infoDETOX,
infoCRACH and Nightline's CRASH THE FUTURE.
