„Von der Ware Arbeit zur wahren Arbeit – Die Linzer Tabakfabrik als Zukunftsprojekt“ – Unter diesem Motto lädt die Initiative NANK (Neue Arbeit Neue Kultur) im Rahmen des Festivals Ars Electronica am Dienstag, 7. September, zu einer hochkarätig besetzten Podiumsdiskussion mit Vertretern aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur in die Tabakfabrik Linz ein.

Wie wird das Gelände der ehemaligen Tabakfabrik in Zukunft genutzt werden können, welche wirtschaftlichen, kulturellen, sozialen und politischen Möglichkeiten und Notwendigkeiten sind bereits vorhanden oder müssen noch entwickelt werden? Die Tabakwerke als mögliches Kulturhaus, als Heimat der Kreativwirtschaft und der „Neuen Arbeit“ – Linz als Impulsgeber für neue Arbeitskonzepte und Green Technologies sind nur einige Fragen, die besprochen werden.

Über die Zukunft einer ganzen Stadt werden Stadtrat Johann Mayr (SPÖ), Vizebürgermeister Erich Watzl (ÖVP), Robert Bauer (ATW Nachnutzungs-Studie), Gerhard Haderer (Künstler), Gerfried Stocker (Künstlerischer Geschäftsführer Ars Electronica) und der Philosoph und Vordenker der „Neuen Arbeit“ Frithjof Bergmann mit dem Publikum diskutieren.

Moderation: Regina Patsch (ORF)

When night falls, the face of the world is transformed.

Atmospheric tours through the festival grounds take advantage of the twilight and ensuing darkness. Flashlights’ diffusing beams blur the borders between staged performance and architecture, whereby the bizarre interplay of forms opens up unusual architectural insights and a personal form of interaction within novel settings. The Sunsetparcours will be held only by sunshine.

Christina Kubisch works with the principle of electromagnetic induction. The headphones she’s developed enable wearers to acoustically experience the electromagnetic fields that pervade our surroundings. On this tour through Tabakfabrik Linz, you’ll explore noise that’s normally inaudible—the electromagnetic sounds of the factory’s impressive architecture as well as of the electronic art on display there.
