20 Digital Years Plus
Station Rose
Nurnberg 2010
ISBN 9783869841113
[p]The Digital Art of Station Rose started in Vienna in 1988, at a time when the Web still was far beyond mainstream, when Mondo 2000 never had heard about the music genre "Techno", when future net-art-critics still mostly were university students, and when the Iron Curtain was surrounding Austria´s east, south east and north border.[/p]
[p]Station Rose have produced an artist's book which delivers a current description of the situation of media art from 1988, when the studio was founded, until 2010. During the early days of the Internet Station Rose developed a language that could function within this ephemeral, immediate and permanently changing medium. The team coined terms and keywords such as 'Cyberspace is our Land', 'Nature is Cool', 'Digital Bohème' and made virulent artistic and social conditions discernable. The book offers not only the context in which the team was working but features audio-visual works, performances, installations and (pre)Web2.0 activities and linkings.[/p]
