STADTWERKSTATT - independent art and culture association since 1979.
Starter of initiatives for critical confrontation with the conditions of life, for the "opening of free space" for the arts and the development of culture.
The premises of Stadtwerkstatt in Kirchengasse 4 in Linz/Urfahr are a communication hub and a communication platform for the regional and local art and culture scene with national and international orientation. Home of initiatives for the democratisation of new media on the one hand:
New media:
Various Public Access Structures were established together with other media activists: Radio FRO, the independent city radio station for Linz which has been airing from Kirchengasse 4 since 6 September 1998, and the internet node servus.at which connects of the Upper Austrian art and culture scene with the internet.
Here the experimental connection of new and old media, real and virtual spaces under participation of active citizens is practiced. Real stages (venue, Café Strom), "stages" on air and stages in virtual space are connected with each other, and form a complex medial centre. On the other hand the premises are the operation basis for the execution of own art projects. With artistic intervention in public space the Stadtwerkstatt-contents are exemplarily realised.
