Armin Medosch (1962-2017) has long been associated with Stadtwerkstatt in Linz. As a collaborator with its director Franz Xaver – projects including /Waves-Liquid Territories/(2008), /Der Bakensender/ (2011), as curator for Eleonore residency (/fieldworks/, 2013), as writer for Versorgerin, among many articles, /From Total Recall to Digital Dementia – Ars Electronica 2013/(2013), his presence at Stadtwerkstatt is deeply felt and missed. On the occasion of STWST48x3, the third edition of STWST48 hosted by Stadtwerkstatt, we hold a tribute to Armin Medosch.

We explore the legacy of Armin Medoschs work from the perspective of „free research“. Long before artistic research became a fundable category, Armin engaged in a various independent, non-institutional research endeavors at the intersection of art, media and politics: from navigating the Baltic Sea on the MS Stubnitz to build open mesh-networks in London, exploring media piracy in Taiwan to contribute to the history of early media art in Croatia and internationally and to develop the Timeline – Tracing Information Society with TECHNOPOLITICS, a free research group in Vienna. What can we take from his particular approach of developing a free research as an interdisciplinary practic for the future?
