The Red Thread of New Media Art


Under the title Red Thread of Media Art, artists from the STWST environment are invited to select images from their own archives and the STWST archive from the last 40 years in order to present the various lines of development of media art, new media or art after new media and to contextualise developments in the STWST with their own works.


Franz XAVER and Tanja Brandmayr started in autumn 2022. Further artists and critical producers will be requested on an ongoing basis from 2023 onwards.
