48 Hours absolutely OOM

With OUT OF MATTER we are engaging in unbounded electromagnetic space, diffuse spheres, dissolved entities, de-confined systems. We send, darken, glow and grow. We have light, antennas, microbioms and underground. We work with exemplary positions and oppositional energy. Along the way we build open spaces and a dematerialised museum.

After a total crash of Media Art and the all-over capitalistic market places we‘re thinking some coordinates of art and technology, information and nature, material and abstraction. We deconstruct and rematerialise to show unmediated pieces – in the name of the not-answering OOM! Our intentions are basic needs and matters to keep the systems open. What are our materials? What are our resources? What are our matters?

With OUT OF MATTER we present more thean 20 works and convert seperate positions into collective situations – to a NEW CONNECTING, EVERYTHING DISSOLVED. Between previous, present and future layers: The present still lasts 3 seconds – one for before, one for after and one for the middle we are in.

THE ELECTROMAGNETIC MASSAGE / Images without surface

STWST No Content Dptm. (AT), Franz Xaver (AT)

STWST’s No Architects have made an entire Art Space disappear into thin air. On the Maindeck there is scaffolding enclosing an invisible building. The Grid Museum as a dematerialised space is the construction site of the future and the space which symbolizes the open electromagnetic space. In the Grid Museum’s open system, images hang neither higher nor lower, but it is about the dissolution of spaces as they were.

Postglow Cinema – Counterworld Quantum Cinema

Tanja Brandmayr (AT), Astrid Benzer (AT)

Nachleuchten / Gegenwelt-Kino is research and reflection in which visual content consisting of light, rhythmization and image fragments is projected onto an afterglow surface. Motion sequences and text are explored as prototypical cinema with afterglow properties.

MAKE ME A SIGNAL – Prelude to a RADIOTOPIA

Shu Lea Cheang (US), Adriana Knouf, Franz Xaver (AT)

Since 2009, the Messschiff Eleonore, once a survey vessel, has been docked at the Danube harbor in Linz, powered by solar energy, equipped with radio components and modified to host artists in residency as part of Stadwerkstatt’s InfoLab activities.

ŦɏŁᵻⱣⱥ MANIA / NFTs and Rematerialized NFTs

Michael Aschauer

ŦɏŁᵻⱣⱥ is a unique NFT contract that was set alive in 2019. ŦɏŁᵻⱣⱥ is autonomous code that produces artful flowers on the blockchain. Any Ethereum wallet address can grow an unlimited number of unique flowers, however, growing takes time: genesis can only happen once in seven days. And like everything else in this world, it costs a fee.
