:// notes

After we had performed Gunafa Clubbings a couple of dozen times in the underground, we were invited by Peter Noever to perform, as well as exhibit our first CD ROM at the MAK, Museum of Contemporary Art in Vienna in November 1993, curated by Daniela Zyman. This was Station Rose´s first live-performance in Vienna since we had left in 1991, and it was sold out for 3 nights.

STATION ROSE Virtual Reality as a new Frontier Area
An "event" in the MAK gallery, October 19-23, 1993

For Station Rose, art is less the production than the circulation of multi-media information. Electronics as communication and information technology is an ideal means of transport. The main focus is on networking. Elisa Rose and Gary Danner see themselves as propagandists of a new culture of consciousness, as "interface designers" of a procedural and participatory art whose roots lie in classical art as well as in the myths and rituals of contemporary pop culture. Station Rose will present its first CD-ROM in a five-day "event" in the MAK gallery.
