STWST48x10 Media and Mars Archives: Shu Lea Cheang, Franz Xaver and Guests / 10x10x10 of Media Art (with an attitude)

Stadtwerkstatt (AT)

STWST48x10 presents two media archive projects: 10x10x10 of Media Art (with an attitude) brings up 10 significant art works/events from STWST’s archive and invites 10 artists/spaces/collectives to correspond by bringing 10 works from their own archive or that of the larger media art field.

The works are presented on the STWST website and projected on a screen accompanied by a dinner performance. Franz Xaver chooses 10 works/projects from STWST, Shu Lea Cheang invited: Raqs Media Collective, Disruption Network Lab, Matthew Fuller, Auriea Harvey, Galerija Kapelica, VNS Matrix, Constanza Piña, Quimera Rosa, Winnie Soon, Mike Stubbs.
 
The other project, Re Capitulating THE MARS PATENT, will be presented as an exhibition piece: What began in 1999 as a virtual exhibition space for art and theory on Mars (or was it in the World Wide Web and the imagination?) is being revisited 25 years later by the artist couple Claudia Reiche and Helene von Oldenburg. It is about recapitulating an early cyberfeminist and media-theoretical project.
