At the end of 1990 Wolfgang Preisinger and Gerald Harringer founded the office DIE FABRIKANTEN (the fabricants) after having completed their studies at the University of arts in Linz. Without making any difference between applied and free artistic work, Die Fabrikanten work as a communication agency and at the same time carry out cultural projects – demanding to create a social surplus value. The intellectual approaches of Die Fabrikanten come from art, science and economy. Extraordinary perspectives develop thanks to the combination of new links between these fields and they manifest themselves in corporate designs, rooms, situations and communication concepts.
