Wolfram P. Kastner und Martin Krenn,
Schwere Sachbeschädigung – oder notwendige Ergänzung eines gefälschten Zitats?
Die Republik Österreich, Landesgericht Salzburg, hat gegen den Künstler Wolfram P. Kastner, der zusammen mit Martin Krenn eine Klasse an der Sommerakademie für Bildende Kunst 2001 leitete, ein Strafverfahren wegen „schwerer Sachbeschädigung“ eingeleitet und ein deutsches Amtsgericht um Amtshilfe und „Abhörung“ ersucht.
Was ist der Grund?
Der Begründer des Zionismus, Dr. Theodor Herzl, der sein Rechtsreferendariat am Salzburger Landesgericht ableistete, schrieb in sein Tagebuch: „In Salzburg brachte ich einige der glücklichsten Stunden meines Lebens zu. Ich wäre auch gerne in dieser schönen Stadt geblieben, aber als Jude wäre ich nie zur Stellung eines Richters befördert worden.“
Die Stadt Salzburg brachte im Jahr 2001 dort eine Marmortafel mit dem sinnentstellend verkürzten Zitat an: „In Salzburg brachte ich einige der glücklichsten Stunden meines Lebens zu.“
Am 29. August 2001 nahmen Wolfram P. Kastner und Martin Krenn mit den Studierenden in aller Öffentlichkeit eine handschriftliche Vervollständigung des Zitats vor. Sie sahen darin eine „Rückgabe der unterschlagenen Worte“, in der Hoffnung, daß dies die Verantwortlichen dazu bewegen könnte, ihren Fehler zu erkennen und zu verbessern.
Martin Krenn: „Die Tendenz zur Kriminalisierung von politischen Aktionen und die Einschränkung der künstlerischen Freiheit nimmt in Österreich bedauerlicher Weise zu. Aus meiner Sicht muß dem entschieden entgegen getreten werden.“

Imagine a device worn on your finger that allows intuitive, touch-free interaction with the digital world. Imagine a solar panel the size of a microcontroller that enables environmental intelligence in any building. Imagine integrating carbon monoxide sensing, thermostat control and biometric security capabilities to a smoke detector without increasing its size. This smarter, greener, battery-free world is fast becoming a reality with the world’s lowest-power microcontroller platform from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN). Codenamed “Wolverine” for its aggressive power-saving technology, this ultra-low-power MSP430 microcontroller platform offers at least 50 percent less power consumption than any other microcontroller in the industry (360 nA real-time clock mode and less than 100 µA/MHz active power consumption). The first devices based on this platform will be the MSP430FR58xx microcontroller series with expected availability in June 2012.
