Am Freitag und Samstag gibt’s in der STWST, am AEC Platz davor und an der Donaulände neben der Nibelungenbrücke, so called Caorle, die Veranstaltung STWST 48 x2. Im Rahmen dieser zweitägigen Veranstaltung klingt das Projekt Radio Active aus, im Rahmen dessen sich mehrere Gruppen von Artists in Resindence den Radiowellen und Frequenzen auf unterschiedlichste medienkünstlerische Weise genähert haben. Wir haben Shu Lea Cheang Kuratorin des Progamms und Franz Xaver den künstlerischen Leiter der STWST zu Gast im Studio und lassen uns das Projekt von ihnen erzählen.

Following STWST48 in 2015, this year Stadtwerkstatt, the nerve center of Linz’ free/open culture, presents STWST48x2, 48 hours non-stop not-comply happenings along the Danube waters. As a showcase for many of Stadtwerkstatt’s cultural initiatives, STWST48x2 brings together local and international artists, cultural workers, network mediators in its hybrid approach towards new art contexts.
