Station Rose, founded 25 years ago by visual
artist Elisa Rose (AT) and musician/composer Gary Danner (AT)
as Vienna’s first address of the open digital leading edge,
has reached in 2013 the Digital Quarter Century mark/DQC. DQC
is a current project designed to conserve cultural heritage as
viewed from the perspective of artists, the pioneers of
digital culture.
A Playhouse
STR has now created DQC_ShelTeR
as a playable installation, an A/V sculpture, a digital
archive, a playhouse for grownups, an effort to avoid losing
an overview of the data.
--
audiovisual sessions...DQC data are
looped into new A/V material composed especially for the
Festival....
the world premiere of the DQC_ShelTeR performance will, in
turn, be partly recorded.

As pioneers of digital culture, Elisa Rose and
Gary Danner have been developing audiovisual art and live
performances, electronic music and net art for the last
twenty-five years. Station Rose’s “Gunafa Clubbing”, which
began in 1988, was the first art form in the world in a club
format. In it, Elisa Rose (images, internet) and Gary Danner
(sound) connected electronic audiovisual art with the internet
in a live performance.
The first “Gunafa Clubbings” took place at the beginning of
the 1990s in Frankfurt am Main and Vienna but also, for
instance in San Francisco, Hamburg and Berlin. This was at a
time when Techno, club culture, Projection Art and the World
Wide Web was still in its infancy.
To celebrate the digital quarter century (1988-2013), Station Rose will once again put on one of its legendary performances in the Kunsthalle Wien.

"Digital Quarter Century" AV/Performance
______________________
performance: "A/V Living Room Session #2"
special performative tribute 01 to "Digital Quarter Century"
"Digital Quarter Century" program 2013.
The title is program, because 2013 will be a special year.
Station Rose/STR steers towards a 25-year
“Digital Quarter Century “.
A quarter-century ago, Elisa Rose & Gary Danner opened the
station in Vienna´s 4th district, Margaretenstr. 26, exactly
on March 11th 1988. They switched on an entire district, which
thus became an art center.
Even if it took galleries 10 years to move in, the fourth
district is cited as an art district in tourist guides today.
After that, STR´s trip into Cyberspace, as well as the move to
Frankfurt took place. Today STR are known as Pioneers of
Digital Culture worldwide.
Since 2011 STR is back in Vienna, and has moved to the
Museumsquartier recently.
STR was awarded the Lifetime Award for their artistic work by
the City of Linz in 2012.
The audiovisual performance at Raum D/Museumsquartier is the start-up-sequence for the Digital Quarter Century.
content: The second in a series of "audiovisual performances at low volume", which are staged on Sunday afternoons. Station Rose´s digital A/V-performances are continued in a new setting at Museumsquartier: "Sound system meets projections meet re-materialization". Digital visual (Elisa Rose) and sound (Gary Danner) loops are the basis of improvisations, analog add-ons like vocals or guitar flow in. Elisa Rose & Gary Danner have been working on this live audiovisual artform since 1991. The audience is able to follow the process over projections and P.A. The artists will build an installation with analog and digital elements, perform live several times in the afternoon, will upgrade the room to an A/V-playground, and provide social gatherings to their guests. STR-A/V-performances took place in the clubculture, in galleries, museums and festivals during the last 20 years, now they will transform Raum D.

To make a contribution to the MQ Summer
of Fashion digital artists Station Rose go back in time,
dive into their archives and show videoworks from their
early fashion projects.
The artists started to make
fashion performances in 1983, initiating Vienna´s fashion
movement, labeled "U-mode" later. Elisa Rose was a student
at Karl Lagerfeld´s class at Die Angewandte, and Gary Danner
played live music with his band "Die Nervoesen Voegel". They
worked in this mixed form of art, including performance,
music, video and fashion mainly in the 80-ies. Nevertheless
fashion is still part of their art today.

After being active abroad for over 20 years, next to activities in Vienna throughout the years, STR´s Elisa Rose and Gary Danner are back home in Vienna. In February 2011 their second base in Frankfurt a.M. was abandoned until further notice, and since then Station Rose´s headquarter is in Vienna again.
Station Rose/STR extend their presence at Museumsquartier, where they have been active since June, and continue to show the media installation "Station Rose is Back/STRIB_01" at V_port.
During the exhibition diverse STR-Field-Duty activities are planned, the next one - "Stationsbetrieb 02" - will take place Friday, 9.9., from 8 - 11 p.m. The field duty-activities at V_port at MQ continue now what STR had begun in the 4th district in 1988.
During the installation STRIB_01 STR will do upgrades step by step, and perform and interact live as artists.
Audiovisual installation STRIB_01 has
been upgraded for Stationsbetrieb 02 after the summer.
The soundtrack has been refined, samples
have been replaced and relocated, aural rooms redesigned.
Likewise the visual part has been upgraded,
and is more in sync with sound now. Water as a theme is still
a leitmotiv, gets a renewal with samples from the Venice
lagoon as well as from the Danube.
The materialization continues, pieces of art made from fabric
result from freezing the audiovisual flow, merge with the
installation´s digital information, meander out from the shop
window to the STReet.
-> The subject of "Recycling Surplus to Save Nature" plays
a significant role, the used material´s sensuality
meets new digital compositions.
At the coming Stationsbetrieb, neighbourly relations get cultivated at the MQ. Ready for communication, STR gets in touch with others, e.g. with monochrom, eSel.at and others. The STReet of quartier 21 becomes the shared meeting point. For this occasion, monochrom will organize a hackbus community special event (http://www.hackbus.info).
To all this you are cordially invited! Elisa Rose & Gary Danner
STR verlängert ihre Präsenz im Museumsquartier, wo sie seit Juni aktiv ist, und bespielt den V_port mit der Medieninstallation "Station Rose is Back/STRIB_01" weiter.
"Eine subtile audiovisuelle Intervention
an einem urbanen Transitort der Kunst, die auch lange nach
dem Verlassen noch im Hirn weiterbrummt." Didi Neidhart
:// german
Im Laufe der Ausstellung sind Stationsbetriebe geplant, der
nächste - "Stationsbetrieb 02" - findet am FR, den 9.9.2011um
20h statt. Im Muqua wird somit eine Reihe fortgesetzt, die in
der Station im 4.Bezirk 1988- 1991 gestartet wurde. Im Laufe
der Zeit nimmt STR prozessuale STRIB_01- Installations-Updates
vor, und wird zu gewissen Momenten als Künstler vor Ort
agieren, performen.
Die audiovisuelle Installation STRIB_01 wurde nun nach dem
Sommer für den Stationsbetrieb 02 upgedatet.
Der Soundtrack zur Installation STRIB_01 wurde verfeinert,
Samplebausteine wurden ersetzt und modular umgestellt.
Ebenso wurde die visuelle Information einem Upgrade
unterzogen, die Verflechtung mit der Musik weiter
intensiviert.
Das Thema Wasser ist visuell nach wie vor ein Leitmotiv,
erfährt ein nachsommerliches Venice_Meeres-Update unter
paralleler Verwendung von Donau-Samples.
Die Verstofflichung schreitet weiter voran, neue Stoffarbeiten
materialisieren sich aus dem gefreezten audiovisuellenFluss,
verbinden sich mit der digitalen Information der Installation,
mäandern aus dem Schaufenster heraus auf die
STRasse. Das Thema "Recycling Surplus to Save Nature" ist in
der Produktion prominent eingesetzt. Die Sinnlichkeit von used
material trifft auf neue digitale AV-Kompositionen.
Bei dem kommenden Stationsbetrieb 02 werden
auch nachbarschaftliche MQ-Beziehungen gepflegt. Die
kommunikations-bereite STR gets in touch with others, u.a
durch Vernerdungen mit Monochrom & eSel.at, etc. Die
STRasse des quartier 21 ist der gemeinsame Treffpunkt.
Sie sind dazu herzlich eingeladen.

"The Digital Art of Station
Rose started in Vienna in 1988, at a time when the Web
still was far beyond mainstream, when Mondo 2000 never had
heard about the music
genre "Techno", when future net-art-critics still mostly
were university students,
and when the Iron Curtain was surrounding Austria´s east,
south east and north
border.......
The latest art of Station Rose refracts the logistics and
glitches of the Internet
through the deceptively low-fi aesthetic of contemporary
art's installations and
performances. "Twenty Digital Years Plus" shows how this
fits into their history
of using the viruses of visual, verbal and computer
language to find insightful
ways of conceptualising digital culture".

Elisa Rose.
Following one of the leitmotifs, "New Media Arte Povera", of this years STR-Jingle for the radiostation ORF (in a tradition of 22 years now), this time Gary Danner made prominent use of analogue instruments, besides shredded samples, recycled and re-used.
Part 03 "axis + nature" is about "Frankfurt

One of STR´s contributions to a final victory over capitalism
(as we know it....) still is
* "Recycling surplus to save nature!"
In part 04 ""MONEY MONEY MONEY" - as a follow up sequence - STR drops this remark:
"What
about ART with basic income for everyone - to change the
world - to change the world -
- basic income for everyone".
:// field research : capitalism gets weirder everyday__ the artists experience that firsthand in Frankfurt on a daily basis. Their question "What is the cosiest place in the world?" gets not answered by the artists, but is only displayed instead.

______________"Close-Up_410" installation and performance:
at "Nacht der Museen" Station Rose
will create a media-installation
& will perform live.
Kunsthalle Schirn, Frankfurt,
F.A.Z.Medienlounge /Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
STATION
ROSE/STR are again <active> in their actual home-town
Frankfurt with the AV-installation &
performance "Close-Up_410" at Kunsthalle Schirn,
Kabinett 2.
Again this
year for "Nacht der Museen", Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
commissioned Station Rose to create the "F.A.Z. Media
Lounge". STR will set up an audiovisual
installation, plus change parameters live sporadically
inside.
While last year´s installation for F.A.Z. at Staedel museum
stayed more settled in form of a DVD-loop of 20mins, this
year´s installation at Kunsthalle Schirn - going for as long
as 7 hours (7pm-2am) - includes live-performative moments,
where Elisa Rose & Gary Danner will actively
change/update their AV-room.
This marathonesque
installation (with Sound System & 6 beamers) gave
the opportunity to see & hear the artists play

installation in the financial district of Frankurt. the room
was not a white cube, but the ground floor of a skyscraper -
with lots of grey glass. we built a cosy situation on stage,
with a white wall for 1 projection behind, and 1 artobject,
which later behaved as a projection object. the screens, as
well as 3rd one on the right side, were mirrowed through the
windows. it could be seen from outside, from the street,
sending light impulses far away. The mirrowed screens touched
the other skyscrapers around.

"Violently Y/ours" - recycling surplus
to save nature

Hofkabinett, Linz 15.01- 6.02.2010
// info: (photo of Station Rose at Tobias Rehberger´s studio)
take a look at the
exhibition here as pdf.
_press article & 1st photos at Kurt
Bayers facebook -site
STATION ROSE/STR are back to their home-town Linz for the 2nd
time, after their AV-performance at
Lentos museum in oct.09, this time with the solo-exhibition
"Violently Y/ours" at gallery Hofkabinett.
Now the media artists go consciously away from
the media art (scene)´s devoutness to the future, and
concentrate on the crisis-ridden present, with new digital
& analog works.
______Life instead of Artificial Life, present instead of the
future.
They call their current direction "New Media Arte Povera".
For the solo-exhibition this means that STR
acts in the sense of not wasting material, which must be
retained nowadays. When "Recycling Surplus to Save Nature",
they use the surplus, the fall-out of their studio in
Frankfurt as samples for new works, besides digital prints on
cloth. A very personal material, recently used by Elisa Rose,
are her (worn) tights, recycled to yarn. Stills from the
AV-compositions "Violent", "Fussgaengerzone" and
"Ornamental_409", performed at Lentos museum, now become
stitched, printed, sewn pieces of art, transfered into
<real> material. The 500 year old building, in which
gallery Hofkabinett is accommodated, represents a further
exciting contrast to the in the meantime 21 years of
digitality of the artists.
In addition,
AV-compositions will be shown, & a limited
music-edtion
<on Audio-Cassette> will be available in the exhibition,
too.

:// groupshow Videorama - "Naturband" at KUNSTHALLE
wien
Station Rose is part of the group show Videorama, Artclips
from Austria, with the video "Naturband" (1985/86)
November 04th, 2009 - January 10th, 2010
:// info: " Naturband" 1985/6
One of the first " studioproductions" of Rose and Danner, 2
years before the establishment of Station
Rose. They produced Naturband during their studies at the
University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where they
started to work together live audio-visually 1983/84.
The clip reflects the preoccupation of the artists with nature
at that time, with distortion, as
well as the
animism inherent in technology and nature, as well as their
preference for a special lo-res image quality,
which they applied since then to their TV-program &
natively in the net. The video was shot in VHS, and
edited in u-matic.

performance at Lentos Museum, Linz/A 22/10/09
"Augenclick – Pheromonic_Hungry Walking
Blues "
:// info:
Elisa Rose (visuals) & Gary Danner (sound) work together
digitally since 1988,
perform live with computers since 1992. Picture & sound,
loops & patterns vare composed at the same time.
:// un-text: Station Rose/STR sees its
AV/Netart as a new language, which will destroy the language
of letters.
For SeeThisSound STR builds a Pheromonic Area with
projections, P.A. &re-materializations. The basis is
their personal synchronization. The samples/substances,
which STR delivers during the performance to the public,
steers the behavior. The complex pheromonic communication
system of nature is used performatively in their digital
art,
"Das Pheromonische" is manufactured as AV-liquid. Signals
release behavior reactions.
<Worst case scenario> are alarm pheromones, where
hungry cultural workers transfer increased aggression.
Premiere.
Thanks to Ma Rainey for helping us out with the title.

:// performance at artspace Satellit in Frankfurt 30/10/09
performance-art-lab satellit, am Roemer,
Frankfurt, between Schirn und Frankfurter Kunstverein,
a Station Rose evening at an art space called
performance-art-lab satellit, installed in the (former)
Technisches Rathaus, Roemer, in Frankfurt. A building that is
more than interesting, built between
1972-74. (The STR-studio/headquarter, installed in the 16th
floor of a scyscraper is from 1972, too.)
IMHO the Technisches Rathaus (i.e. technical city hall) should
be declared a historic monument/building &
be preserved - but cause Frankfurt is always under
construction, at least it has been before the world financial
crisis, the
city decided to tear it down & destroy it - soon. let´s
see. (stills used from city hall,

with the media-sculpture

20 Digital Years- The Archive is online since
then.
The media sculpture (3,3 tons) has been sold after the
exhibition.

info:
As the 1st media art space in Vienna STR
went back to the roots - after 20 Digital Years. For that
Station Rose constructed a media architecture of 3,3 tons
& used the the logcabin system - which goes back to Bronze
Age - as a sample and updated it to LogInCabin. Sustainable
wood meets LEDs & sound system. The media sculpture was on
24hours for 3 months. The LEDs needed 100% energy throughout
sunlight/daytime, and 10% after 5pm. It was an intervention in
city space - seen for miles, positioned on the MAK Terrasse
plateau (built by Peter Noever).
Digital Art could be seen inside the scultpure, on the street
& online.
phot-collection here:
f The Digital Archive was presented
there as a premiere.
After the exhibiton the media sculpture has
been sold to the artcollection of the City of Vienna. Because
of its logcabin system it was constructed in 3 days, and
un-built in 2. It can be rebuilt any time. Station Rose
performed live twice during the exhibit.

June 01st - June 30th, 2008 - Vienna, Museumsplatz
1/Museumsquartier
:// info:
2008 Station Rose/STR celebrated
20 Digital Years, and showed a film as
their new piece of
art, as a representative cross-section of their audio-visual
art, at Kunsthalle Wien for this occasion.
Many of the videos sampled and re-edited for The Movie have
been created live during the webcasts
at their Frankfurt studio live @ home, for their TV series
at hr-fernsehen/ARD digital "Best of Webcasting", as
well as during audiovisual live-performances in museums, at
festivals and in the underground.
The basis of STR´s work is the interaction of visuals (Elisa
Rose) and sound (Gary Danner). Both
compose their audiovisual art synchronously. Distillates
thereof can re-materialize as
performances, installations, art products, CDs/vinyls/DVDs,
net art projects, texts, TV shows etc.
While STR has installed and performed inside an audiovisual
installation with 8 screens as early as
1991, their next step further now is in the opposite
direction, by showing a one-channel projection
in the Ursula Blickle videolounge at Kunsthalle Wien.
The focus is on non-narrative dramaturgy &
fictional story telling, which has been enhanced
ever
since their audiovisual TV series. The real storylines are
not in the spotlight, but get inverted
as breaks, as wild card and un-commercials between abstract
MIDI-sequenced patterns.
The real world is featured as disruption, as glitch, as
reset-button.
Digital abstract patterns, created by Elisa Rose since 1987,
then on her Amiga computer, and the
use thereof, which had been confirmed during STR´s 8-month
portgraduate studies in Cairo 1988/89,
take center stage ever since.
These attract interest together with RL/ real-life
sequences, filmed on location (Vienna, Cairo,
Frankfurt, San Francisco, Linz, Lugano, Avignon, ICA London
via Webcam).
The crossfading between scenes in movies has been
replaced by short real-life interferences.
The soundtrack by Gary Danner was realized entirely on the
computer, ranging from dry, minimal
electronica, over bass-heavy dub, to nods to Nino Rota
stylistically. Special "vignettes" had been
created to fit the RL-interruptions, often backing the
original sound recorded on location.
The movie is also a survey of the performative AV-flow of
the art created in STR´s studio, with all
its drive as well as stops within the sequences.
Particular attention is given to subjective perception of
time, digital glitches and the merger of
digital worlds and the (urban) nature surrounding us.
