The Station Rose Database (1988-2008)

From: Paul Brown <paul@PAUL-BROWN.COM>

Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 15:24:06 +1000

   http://digitalarchive.stationrose.net/start.html

The Station Rose Database (1988-2008) is in public-beta now.

Station Rose was the  first public media art space (1988-91) in Vienna,
before moving to Frankfurt & Cyberspace in 1991. Since then the  
headquarter is in Frankfurt.

On behalf of "20 Digital Years" we started to develop & program the  
Database in 2008,
with a special interface.

Our Digital Archive - saved on harddrives, discettes, photos, CDs,  
DVDs, U-matic video, DVs, VHS etc. - has become really huge after 20  
years.

Over hundred of (mostly unreleased) audio tracks, TV features, stills,  
videos and texts from 1988 - 2008 have been structured.
The searchable database is by no means complete, but already gives an  
overview over Station Rose´s activities of the last 20 years.  
Programmed with open source Typo 3.
Programming: Christian Bieber/dkd, Elisa Rose, Gary Danner, Jens Fischer

The Digital Archive was shown for the 1st time during our exhibit of  
the media-sculpture "LogInCabin" 2008/09 at MAK/Museum of Applied &  
Contemporary Art, Vienna.

Since then the database gets filled -

over time.

It is in progress !

best,

Elisa Rose

OBJECT AND IDENTITY IN A DIGITAL AGE

Thursday 12 - Friday 13 November 2009

Places are limited so early booking is recommended.
