Mobiles Ö1 Atelier
Take Away (data to go)
As counterpart to the Circle of Wagons on Pfarrplatz, the Ö1 container on the Main Square fulfills the function of a hard disc from which files from the Internet can be downloaded with a free license. Most of this is data that can easily be found online, but it’s precisely this act of exclusive collection that documents how enormous the Internet’s wealth of freely-available knowledge, information and content really is. This installation is designed above all to counteract the widely-held notion that the act of taking advantage of online resources is generally a matter of piracy and the illegal acquisition of data. In addition to the data freely available here, project partner ORF – Austrian Broadcasting Company’s radio station Ö1 will be giving away “content for free,” like, for example, the Ö1 Podcasts.
