Stadtwerkstatt / STWST
Stadtwerkstatt (STWST) is a cultural center in Linz, founded as an artists' collective in 1979. As an early adopter in the context of new media, it has a history of significant projects dating back to the 80s. Today, Stadtwerkstatt is the residency for three initiatives that have grown out of this period. All of them play important roles in the production of artist- and citizen-generated content. Each initiative has developed its own "hands-on" approach over the past years.
