AMRO26: Art Meets Radical Openness diverse Standorte in Linz Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open Culture servus.at lädt in Kooperation mit den Abteilungen Zeitbasierte Medien und Visuelle Kommunikation, der Kunstuniversität Linz zum Festival. Art Meets Radical Openness (AMRO) is a biennial community festival for art, hacktivism and open cultures. It provides a space for discussion and resistance against technological monoculture, and for sharing and learning together on contemporary issues of our networked times. #AMRO26: „Becoming Unreadable“ For its 2026 edition, titled „Becoming Unreadable“, AMRO invites its community to reflect on and engage with invisibility, unreadability, ungovernability, and uncomputability as strategies for resistance. AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, 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. Art Meets Radical Openness wants to be a space dedicated to that.
