Obel Guest Lecture: Station Rose

The Obel Family Foundation, Art & Technology and Platform 4 present: STATION ROSE

Pioneers of digital art STATION ROSE (Elisa Rose and Gary Danner) will talk about their beginnings in late 1980s Vienna and up until their recent phase ‘Next Digital Quarter Century’. Working independently over the decades, Danner & Rose have published numerous CDs, DVDs, books and art works – and have performed live all over the world several hundred times.

After the lecture they will display a live composing of abstract audiovisual loops in realtime ranging from pop to abstract electronics and give a glimpse of things to come.

»The Vienna duo are indestructible. They’re like a flourishing rosebud out of a cement sidewalk crack. Every wannabe tech artist should study their efforts and see how they just plain invented themselves and their milieu.«
