If you are coming to Linz, Ars, please join us at 
Stadtwerkstatt, the rebel-spirited art center 
located in between Ars electronica center and 
futurelab. Somehow associated with Ars, STWST48 
with its independent programming, strives to 
process information live in 48 hour span. 
multi-artist, multi-site, multi-event...

nights with us, sunday brunch included.


STWST48 - crashing the information in 48 hours

A Stadtwerkstatt project

17:00, September 4 (Friday) -  17:00, September 6 (Sunday)
Stadtwerkstatt, Kirchengasse 4, A-4040 Linz, Austria

Convert yourself into E-waste, ferment yourself, 
chase honeybees for weather report, launch fungi 
to outerspace, send your mobile on a slow boat to 
China, set your electric sheep free range, grow 
your android plants, tune in to ghostradio, 
stream in the orchestra, piss off to compute, eat 
your data raw, read your pulse loud, make your 
own bed, make love to your tattoo, hand over your 
hangover, take a dip in the Danube, check into 
the underwater eel hotel, admits yourself to a 
world without compromise, a world in which dreams 
greet reality and technology is treated with 
great caution.

In 2015, Stadtwerkstatt, the nerve center of 
Linz' free/open culture takes up "the nature of 
information" as a matter of inquiry and launches 
information LAB to house its many ongoing 
information research projects. For Stadtwerkstatt 
which always presents a reference to the 
established system, an information laboratory is 
a challenge of the presence. While the world of 
natural sciences updates and releases information 
through logical conclusions, the 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.
