FMR 26

Festival for art in digital contexts and public spaces.

LINZ FMR is a biennial festival and format for artistic processes and positions that reflect the ephemeral character of our digital and networked present. The ever-increasing digitalization of everyday life implies an intensive overlapping and layering of familiar physical, but also finely interwoven digital spaces. LINZ FMR focuses on the shifts, distortions and ruptures that arise in this process and presents current artistic positions in this context.

The festival, whose title alludes to transience and ephemerality, presents works whose initial ideas can be found in virtual or digital space or have a strong connection to it, but which are shown in a transformed form in the physical environment of the city of Linz. The focus is primarily on the intermediate spaces that are created during these transformations in public space - outside of museums, galleries or art spaces.
