Station Rose

STATION ROSE/STR was founded in Vienna, Austria, in 1988 by Gary Danner (sound) and Elisa Rose (art). As one of the first digital groups worldwide, STATION ROSE have used the potential of live audio visual media and the internet for performing in their work. Their Gunafa Clubbings were the first AV- and online-clubprojects worldwide (Frankfurt, 1992). STR are online since 1991, and are regarded as pioneers of Digital Culture (Frankfurter Allgemeine). Danner´s career as professional musician/composer spans 4 decades, quite often using reliable structures like Beat, Techno, Punk and Minimal Music.
STATION ROSE operates at the interface of digital art, music and pop. Their artistic output is characterized by exploring the boundaries between reality and virtuality, audio and video are organically interwoven by definition.
