Free Research
We explore the legacy of Armin Medosch’s 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 building open mesh-networks in London, exploring media piracy in Taiwan to contributing to the history of early media art in Croatia and internationally and to developing 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 interdisciplinary practice for the future?
