 +====== "7067 khz – it’s not a test" ======
 +
 +is an Eleonore/​stwst project that serves as cultural backbone for  Stadtwerkstatt’s media art activities. As part of Stadtwerkstatt’s cultural initiatives,​ the 100 year old Station Messschiff Eleonore docked at the Danube harbor in Linz has since 2009 been powered by solar energy, equipped with radio components and modified to host artists in residency. Based on *Der Backensender - Automatic Beacon Transponder (ABT11)* proposed by Nina Wernhard, Armin Medosch and Franz Xaver in 2011, this year Eleonore/​stwst launches "7067 khz - it`s not a test", using the frequency of 7067khz in a new artistic and cultural contexts. ​

 +"7067 khz - it`s not a test" calls for daily transmission of automatically/​manually ​ generated radio signals from different stations around the world at scheduled time slots. Recalling the sputnik satellite’s outer space broadcast of radio pulses in the fifties, ​ Eleonore'​s 7067khz inverts the space signals to earth signals, calling for like-minded media/​cultural spaces to sign on for signal sending. In honor of the first radio artists who were using the signals as a material for art,  the 7067khz stands for independent information and communication bypassing the use of internet. We do not want to specify the content of the transmission,​ rather we consider the act of sending the signals an act of solidarity in this post-internet future present. ​
 +
 +We call for artists to send in the signals in SSTV (slowscan TV) and CW (continuous wave) automatically or manually. With ham radio equipments and monitors at the exhibition space, the visitors can follow the signals sent from different stations with low-res pictures and amplified sound output.
