The slogan “Free opinion needs free media” was coined by the Stadtwerkstatt at the beginning of the 1990s and a free radio station and its own internet node was running in the house Kirchengasse 4. Thirty years later, we find ourselves in an information society and we have to expand the concept of “free opinion” to include the question of free information.

To decode the signal, you need a weather fax APP, with which the signals can be converted back into images. The signal of Eleonore can be received via our satellite receiving station at the roof of Stadtwerkstatt Linz.

The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium - that is, of any extension of ourselves - result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology. Marshall MacLuhan.
