Armin Medosch (1962-2017) has long been associated with Stadtwerkstatt in Linz.  As a collaborator with its director Franz Xaver – projects including Waves-Liquid Territories (2008), Der Bakensender (2011),  as curator for Eleonore residency (fieldworks, 2013), as writer for Versorgerin, among many articles, From Total Recall to Digital Dementia - Ars Electronica 2013 (2013), his presence at Stadtwerkstatt is deeply felt and missed. On the occasion of STWST48x3,the third edition of STWST48 hosted by Stadtwerkstatt, We hold a tribute to Armin Medosch.

 

18:00     New Tendencies, screening of Armin Medosch’s presentation and book launch at Cabinet space, New York 2016

 

20:00     Free Research - Felix Stalder in conversation with James Stevens, Fahim Amir, Jaromil, Darko Fritz, Shu Lea Cheang and friends.

 

We explore the legacy of Armin Medosch's work from the perspective of "free research". Long before artistic research became a fundable category, Armin engaged in a various independent, non-institutional research endeavors at the intersection of art, media and politics: from navigating the Baltic Sea on the MS Stubnitz to building open mesh-networks in London, exploring media piracy in Taiwan to contributing to the history of early media art in Croatia and internationally and to developing the Timeline - Tracing Information Society with TECHNOPOLITICS, a free research group in Vienna.  What can we take from his particular approach of developing a free research as interdisciplinary practice for the future?
