Becoming unreadableArt Meets Radical Openness
Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open CultureArt Meets Radical Openness 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.
The current techno-political moment is dominated by AI and by the strengthening of the alliance between big tech and conservative politics, as well as a blind faith in endless computational growth. All of this relies on forms of “hyper-visibility”, based on the assumption that a constant online omnipresence is normal and desirable. Our interconnectedness forms the basis of mainstream digital cultures and serves as a tool for ubiquitous surveillance and the exploitative appropriation of works and data by big tech, which demands critical opposition.
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.

ABOUT AMRO
AMRO, Art Meets Radical Openness, is a festival, a platform and a community for art, hacktivism and open cultures, organized since 2008 by servus.at in cooperation with the Linz University of Art, Department of Time-Based Media and Visual Communcation.“Art Meets Radical Openness” brings together local and international artists, activists, developers, researchers and hacktivists involved with the culture of sharing and communal production. They are catalysts that spark new discourses and open up new directions of thinking. Free Open Source Software, open tools in general and the use of free licenses are the precondition and basis for the digital practice of a community like this, which impels social transformation. This tangible transformation goes beyond a digital practice and also changes our real life.

"The discursive programme of AMRO focuses hence of #oppositionalstrategies against the #hypervision of the machine, finding ways to escape from the all-seeing eye of the #AI and becoming undetectable, #unreadable, and hence #ungovernable, #uncontrollable."

My thoughts on this #ManilaBulletin article "La Salle Dasma SHS to offer electives on Taylor Swift, SpongeBob", written by Carla Bauto Deña: https://mb.com.ph/2024/1/15/la-salle-dasma-shs-to-offer-electives-on-taylor-swift-sponge-bob
I feel like this is a waste of time. Yes it is an #elective. But this is too specific. Why #TaylorSwift? Why not #ChesterBennington, who arguably has inspired a whole generation too with his #numetal songs at #LinkinPark?
It just doesn't make sense why you'd focus on one specific #celebrity, or show like #Spongebob.I'd rather have #electives for subjects like #Japanese #doujin culture, which may be equivalent to "#indie creator" culture in the #West (but #doujins are not always exactly indie). It's both broad enough and specific. You can talk about the #Touhou phenomenon in the mid-2000s and early 2010s, the #fanworks of established media franchises, the #music, and of course, the erotic works which unfortunately became representative of the word in the West. It's not even applicable only to #HUMSS in #SHS; those who will take #IT and #CS courses in #college may find this elective useful for them too (#ZUN, the creator of Touhou, was a #ComputerScience #student when he developed the first five #2hu games for the #PC98).
Let's stop with this nonsensical glorification of #consumer culture from the West, and learn more from our #Asian neighbors instead!!

Against systems built on legibility, classification, and extraction, it points to ways of evading capture - technically, socially, and aesthetically.
Not opacity as withdrawal, but unreadability as a way of negotiating power: refusing full accessibility to surveillance, algorithmic interpretation, or commodification.

09.04. @#interlause (LauseRia, language: engl.)
18h Vernissage
19h Panel discussion with various artists
Theme: What does it mean to make (media)art in times of BigTech and how to resist with artistic means?Exhibition (yard 5, starirs E)
10.-12.04. 16-20ha
13.-17.04. 16-19h
Finissage:
17.04. 17hLausitzer Str. 10, 10999 B.
At InterLause#17, we discuss with the artists Kathrin Hunze, Helena Nikonole, Navid Razavi, Conny es Said and others what it means to create tech art in the age of Big Tech and its commercially and ideologically driven LLMs and the like. Can niches be found where artists can still move freely? What artistic means do they employ to drive resistance against Big Tech? Or will everyone ultimately become mere cogs in the machine of oversized AIs, forced to accept overpriced subscriptions?
