Heidi Grundmann was a key figure documenting three generations of artists in radio, media and network art for the Austrian radio listener. Travelling across some 40 years of private and public life in a sort of permanent electric field, the enormous quantity of data Heidi accumulated, is here literally squeezed in 29 minutes which include some touching personal memories and a reflection on the situation of women in arts and society.
