Collaborators
servus.at is a net culture initiative in Linz. As an association it operates an independent IT infrastructure based on open source software. It promotes free and independent access to communication technologies through non-commercial alternatives. Its members include artists and cultural workers, alternative educational institutions, free radios, university institutions, NGOs and many more. At the same time, the development and implementation of software is part of larger cultural and critical processes rooted in media art practices: We are engaged in the analysis of current technological trends such as data harvesting or digital surveillance and discuss their socio-political implications and aesthetics by proactively experimenting and engaging with alternative media environments for a free society.

Varia is a space for developing collective approaches with/through/around everyday technology. Varia's members maintain and facilitate a collective infrastructure from which the group generates questions, opinions, modifications, help and action. The initiative is based in Rotterdam and is started in 2017 from the need to open up their members' practices and organise ad-hoc public or semi-public moments among different configurations; at its core it aims at developing critical understandings of the technologies that surround us.
