Medienwerkstatt Wien was founded in 1978 as a non-commercial video studio. With the implementation of several participatory media projects, it became the most important Austrian center for independent media production in the early 1980s. This makes it one of the longest functioning models, which - run as an artists’ collective - has reflected, communicated and helped shape the ongoing development of media art in both the technological and theoretical fields. The regular program of events builds a bridge between production and discourse and is one of the few places in Austria where the exchange of media theory and practice is made publicly visible.
