Call: AMRO26 Art Meets Radical Openness
Deadline: 16. Jänner 2026; Festival:13. bis 16. Mai 2026
Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open Culture
organized in cooperation with University of Arts Linz, Departments of Visual Communication and Time-based Media
Art Meets Radical Openness is a biennial community festival for art, hacktivism and open cultures. The 2026 edition ‘Becoming Unreadable’ engages with invisibility, unreadability, ungovernability, and uncomputability as strategies for resisting current tendencies of our networked times. AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, it explores approaches that offer real change: low-tech, feminist and community IT, computing within limits, up to even more radical ideas around de-computing, de-networking, de-scaling and de-platforming ourselves. 'Becoming Unreadable' involves evading surveillance by oligarchic tech corporations, operate under the radar, and refuse to comply to the total AI cloud. Non-commercial community infrastructures are fundamental tools in this process, but even more importantly we need to develop new ways of understanding each others and being together as humans.
