servus.at is a cultural network-based initiative in Linz, Austria. One of the main objectives of servus.at in running its own data center is to implement the ideas of a „free society“ in a daily practice of cultural and artistic production dealing with technology and ultimately to develop a network of trust.
With our Open Call for a Virtual Residency we want to encourage
artists, hacktivists and cultural producers to use this opportunity
for developing projects, artworks, software for sharing within a
trusted community.
All projects must grant the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study,
change and improve the software.

* projects which reflect on or research the post-digital dilemma
* projects which explore the nature of information
