Stadtwerkstatt – Post City https://ars.electronica.art/postcity/en Ars Electronica 2015 Tue, 28 Jun 2022 13:02:20 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.6 STWST 48 – crashing the information in 48 hours https://ars.electronica.art/postcity/en/stwst48/ Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:24:23 +0000 https://ars.electronica.art/postcity/?p=3780 In 2015, Stadtwerkstatt, the nerve central of Linz’ free and open culture takes up “the nature of information” as matters of inquiry and launches information LAB to house its many ongoing information research projects. While the world of natural sciences updates and releases information through logical conclusions, 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.
