Convert yourself into E-waste, compost yourself, 
consult earth worms for empowering, chase 
honeybees for weather report, send your mobile on 
a slow boat to China, set your electric sheep 
free range, tune in to ghostradio, locate 
yourself with smell of home cooking, eat your 
data raw, bake your own cookie, make your own 
bed, hand over your hangover, take a dip in the 
Danube, check into the underwater eel hotel, 
submit a proposal for Stadtwerkstatt infoDETOX 
residency at Station Messschiff Eleonore, Linz, 
Austria.

In 2015, Stadtwerkstatt, the nerve central of 
Linz' free/open culture takes up "the nature of 
information" as matters of inquiry and launches 
infoLAB to house its many ongoing information 
research projects. For Stadtwerkstatt who always 
presents a reference to the established system, 
an information laboratory is a challenge of the 
presence.

Parallel to infoLAB, the infoDETOX residency 
admits free/open sources of information, 
randomness as a form of non-information and 
meaningless information without conclusive 
arguments. We seek proposals that verify a world 
of logics-based reality, create a reference 
system through the world of dreams in which 
exists no distinction or abstraction of 
situations, no symmetries, no mirroring, no 
context of art, no togetherness or loneliness. It 
is a world without compromise, a world that 
dreams greets reality and technology is treated 
with great caution.

Summer2015 Eleonore residency infoDETOX is 
curated by Shu Lea Cheang for Stadtwerkstatt, 
Linz, Austria.

We seek three artists/projects, each takes up two 
week residency during months of June, July and 
August, 2015. The residency covers inter-Europe 
travel costs (budgeted at 250¤ per person), 500 
euro artist fee (per diem for living expenses) 
and 150¤ material costs.
There is possibility that the residency projects 
will be part of infoCRASH at STWST48 (48 hour 
happenings) to take place during Ars Electronica 
in early September 2015.

To submit a residency proposal, send a 3 page PDF 
that includes your research/work statement and 
images, your brief bio/websites and your 
residency plan based on the "nature of 
information" to Shu Lea  Cheang 
<shulea at earthlink.net>. Submission deadline March 
25, 2015.  Residency acceptance to be announced 
by April 6, 2015.
