"THE DIGITAL ART OF STATION ROSE STARTED IN VIENNA IN 1988, AT A TIME WHEN THE WEB STILL WAS FAR BEYOND MAINSTREAM, WHEN MONDO 2000 NEVER HAD HEARD ABOUT THE MUSIC GENRE "TECHNO", WHEN FUTURE NET-ART-CRITICS STILL MOSTLY WERE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, AND WHEN THE IRON CURTAIN WAS SURROUNDING AUSTRIA´S EAST, SOUTH EAST AND NORTH BORDER....... THE LATEST ART OF STATION ROSE REFRACTS THE LOGISTICS AND GLITCHES OF THE INTERNET THROUGH THE DECEPTIVELY LOW-FI AESTHETIC OF CONTEMPORARY ART'S INSTALLATIONS AND PERFORMANCES. "TWENTY DIGITAL YEARS PLUS" SHOWS HOW THIS FITS INTO THEIR HISTORY OF USING THE VIRUSES OF VISUAL, VERBAL AND COMPUTER LANGUAGE TO FIND INSIGHTFUL WAYS OF CONCEPTUALISING DIGITAL CULTURE“.
