Tune in to the first podcast episode on #RadioFRO: 22. May April - 17:00

#AMRO26 | On-air #1
In this episode featuring @aderieg & Uschi Reiter from #servus we discussed the history of #AMRO festival and the importance of the #floss movement.
A key focus of this year’s edition is the theme #BecomingUnreadble. What does it mean to evade constant surveillance and data capture, and how can art open up new spaces for ambiguity and self-determination?

AMRO26:
Becoming unreadable

Art Meets Radical Openness
Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open Culture

Art 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.

#d*signweek #amro

last edition of the @versorgerin features a text conversation i had with Tanja Brandmayr from the Stadtwerkstatt about the multilayered threads connecting @servus and #stwst #newcontexts, the past #MFRU festival and #AMRO. Touching upon esoteric ecotechnics, fog manifesto, haunted and becoming unreadable.

This naturally has an impact on our annual program and raises questions about the upcoming issue of #AMRO.

We are in the process of adapting our annual program and developing a plan for the future. We will definitely keep informed the community.

AMRO forecasts 4.2% growth for ASEAN+3 region in 2025, citing robust consumption and investment, but warns of predominant downside risks including US protectionist policies and global economic slowdowns.

Over the past months we have interviewed some of the people involved in the #ARDC, a series of #VMs hosted at the servus datacenter; we have also traced the history of #AMRO, Art Meets Radical Openness, and the general radical media art context in which #servus.at was born and still operates.

All this material is now collected in a fancy magazine called "Artists Running Data Centers", which we'll get fresh off the press tomorrow and present at STWST on Tuesday, December 17th at 7pm.

The question was the starting point of the @servus #AMRO “Shifting Ecosystems” Research Lab in 2019. Back then, with Christina Gruber and Antonio Zingaro we explored the environmental impact of the internet, its resource consumption, and the greenwashing strategies of Silicon Valley.

»As #Amro approached the #soldiers through an olive grove, they moved in and struck him with their rifles, he later recalled. Amro put up little defense; he was #handcuffed and taken to a military base. There he was tied to the back of a chair with zip ties. He was first #blindfolded, then #gagged. Then a #beating began, Amro says. The ordeal lasted more than 10 hours.«
