Station Rose - "20 Digital Years" 2008
:::::::::::::::::::::::1988 until now
In 1988, Station Rose/STR has been opened as public media lab, exhibition and performance space in Vienna by Elisa Rose & Gary Danner. It can be seen as the essential space for media art in Vienna at that time - digital art became reality in 1988 through Station Rose, with business hours.
The virtualization was realized after the move
to Frankfurt in 1991.
For the 20th anniversary in 2008 STR wants to build a real place again, as
a temporary, walkable media sculpture, with a timeline of the Digitale Archive
as a database, as a performable work-in-progress artwork The virtual and
the real morph together on location. STR creates grounding through the building
process exactly because of the years of dematerialization and thereby make
the complex 0-1 art accessible. STR will perform during the project, the
audiovisual works of Station Rose (1988-2008) wil be accessible on the
LED skin.
Since the Vienna
Station used to be a shop, and therefore was situated on a downtown main
street, it rapidly evolved into a public place of art and exchange of ideas & cooperations. Station Rose was online in Vienna for
1 day during our "Sampling Symposium" in 1988.
The virtualization was realized on from 1991.
