Stadtwerkstatt is a cultural association in Linz/Austria, founded in 1979 by art-school dissidents. It is a communication platform for the local art scene and an experimental space for art and cultural development. Being a vibrant place for an independent national and international avantgarde underground art scene in the early years, over the years Stadtwerkstatt became an independent art-media center. The focus is on critical reflection of the conditions of society and fostering free cultural initiatives, mainly independent media-projects.

Stadtwerkstatt runs a cultural center downtown Linz. Hosting public access media structures that were built up throughout the last years in cooperation with other media activists like
Radio FRO (non commercial local radio station, 24 hrs a day - also broadcasting in the net) - and servus.at (internet service for art and culture in the region), a Cafe with a small club-stage, Cafe Strom and a hall for concerts and events (dates).
All of these stages (real, virtual and ether) are networked.

Stadtwerkstatt realizes art-projects that are prototype samples of the interdisciplinary work with main focus on public spaces, audience participation and technology.

The OCCII (Onafhankelijk Cultureel Centrum In It) is a venue for alternative and independent music in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The organization is mostly run by volunteers and has its roots in the squatting movement; the building was squatted in 1984 and “legalized” in 1989. Next to the concert hall, there’s also a , a restaurant (called MKZ), the Anarchist library, theatre for children (Kinderpret), a bike workshop (Farafina), a sauna (Fenomeen), rehearsal studios, and a big courtyard with a garden.
The building the OCCII resides in was built as a horse tram garage with stables in 1883-84 by architect Abraham Salm (1857-1915), who also designed (together with his father G. B. Salm) the buildings where popular commercial venues Melkweg and Paradiso now operate.
The OCCII has no central programming, instead there are several programming groups that set the agenda. Some of these groups are Le Club Suburbia (mostly indie and post-punk), `Nada (new wave and EBM), Muziek Kapot Moet (experimental, electronic, noise, weird pop), Spellbound (Queer, electronic, dance), The Real Amsterdam Underground /Doom!Shit!Doom! (punk, hardcore, Doom, Sludge), HalloGallo (sounds & colours for body and mind) and Cool Schmool (dance, indie, mostly female fronted).
