[rohrpost] STR in LONDON - BUCHPRÄSENTATIONEN

Fre Feb 4 22:32:50 CET 2011

werte Rohrpostler,

hier in aller eile den newsletter in english - 
mit einem intro meinerseits in deutsch:

1. wir freuen uns sehr, das buch "20 Digital 
Years plus" so umfangreich in LONDON präsentieren 
zu können. die vernetzung ist in vollem gange.

2. wenn man dann bedenkt, dass die Transmediale 
es nicht geschafft hat, das Thema  bzw das buch 
rein in das programm zu nehmen...... ich stelle 
hiermit die bedeutung dieses medienfestivals 
ernsthaft in frage. und wenn man noch weiters 
bedenkt, dass es von uns künstlern als 
selbstverständlich hingenommen werden soll, dass 
man erst auserwählt werden soll - um dann alles 
selbst zu bezahlen - reisespesen, etc sowieso, 
keine idee von honorar,  finde ich das ganze 
einfach skandalös.

so wollen wir ein buch mit einer solchen 
bandbreite jedenfalls sowieso nicht präsentieren.
  das geht nun gar nicht. hier hat jemand seine hausaufgaben nicht gemacht.

3.also zurück zu den erfreulichen facts & AUF NACH LONDON.

4. BRISANTES CAIRO:
nach unserem Studium der Kunst in Wien haben wir 
ein Postgraduate Stipendium in Cairo angetreten - 
und zwar 1988, und das für beinahe ein jahr - 
welches ein  tiefes eintauchen in die 
nicht-westliche zivilisation bedeutet hat.

Cairo kommt sowohl im Buch als chapter B) als NUN 
auch in den audio-visuellen Vorträgen umfangreich 
vor . Der STR-Begriff Gunafa ist übrigens ein 
Slangwort, welches wir 1989 in Ägypten 
aufgenommen haben.

5. die vorträge werden eine menge audiobeispiele 
sowie videoausschnitte aus der CD & DVD,  dem 
buch beiliegend, beinhalten.

herzlichst aus Wien, Elisa Rose

Dear Gunafa Netizen,

we are in Vienna right now - on the way to LONDON - via Frankfurt.

next week there will be audiovisual bookpresentations and a radio interview.
chapter B) in the Book called "home in Egypt" is 
more actual than ever - we will talk about that, 
too - from A) to R) and back aGAIN !

btw, Gunafa is an Egyptian word, which STR found 
during their postgraduate stay in Cairo 1988/89.

"Media art is both an art form and a way of life 
for Station Rose. Twenty digital years have by 
now assured them a permanent place in the 
cyberspace hall of fame - and not only there." 
Peter Noever, 2010

         ________________________

        "Station Rose had every right to claim 
'cyberspace is our land.' They were there very 
early, they raised their antennas and put down 
deep    roots, and they never left." -- Bruce 
Sterling, 2010

book-info:

Station Rose, that is Elisa Rose and Gary Danner, 
summarises 20 Digital Years and at the same time 
delivers a current description of the situation 
with a visionary potential. As pioneers of media 
art, Station Rose found a language back in the 
early days of the Internet, for this ephemeral, 
fast phenomenon in a state of permanent change, 
coined terms and keywords such as »Cyberspace is 
our land«, »Nature is Cool«, "Digital Bohème", 
among others, who made virulent artistic and 
social conditions discernable, and thus 
comprehensible. Elisa Rose and Gary Danner are 
considered to be innovators and visionaries in 
the field of audiovisual art, electronic music, 
net art and audiovisual live performance.With 
»New Media Arte Povera«, Station Rose is reacting 
to the omnipresent crisis, rematerialising media 
art and showing textile objects and framed wall 
pieces. One part of the book is dedicated to the 
media sculpture »LogInCabin«, exhibited for three 
months in 2009, in the MAK - Austrian Museum of 
Applied Arts / Contemporary Art, Vienna.
