  5. AMRO26 / Art Meets Radical Openness / Becoming Unreadable

    afo - architekturforum oberösterreich, Wednesday, May 13 at 10:00 AM GMT+2


    13. – 16. May 2026
    Linz, Austria

    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.

  7. Sourdough #6 Drafting Hope, Creating Counter-Narratives with migrazine and maiz / magazine presentation

    Raumschiff, Friday, April 24 at 05:00 PM GMT+2

    Sourdough #6 (magazine presentation) 
    Drafting Hope, Creating Counter-Narratives                                                                                                                                                                                                                               with migrazine and maiz

    When: Friday, 24th April, 17:00–19:30
    Where: Raumschiff, Pfarrplatz 18, 4020 Linz

    In this gathering we present the last issue of the online-magazine migrazine "Drafting Hope, Creating Counter-Narratives” in which we took part in search for models of life, community and values that promote the emancipation from technology monopolies as well as our capacity for a political digital engagement. Intervening with counter-narratives, creating alternative uses and spaces for technologies, as well as building relationships that inspire empathy and generosity were some of the forms of (re)existence in a hyper-digitalized life that we gathered to tackle this issue.

    Together with the authors Aimilia Liountou and Mary Maggic we will go through two of the published texts: respectively, the sociopolitical development of emojis in the global cultural sphere, and “Workshopology” as practice and research methodology for artists and interdisciplinary collaborations.

    We invite activists, authors, artists, editors and general public to an evening full of playful, creative exchange on hegemonic digital infrastructure and possible ways to overcome them - acknowledging our contradictions at hand. 

    This event will be held in English.

    About
    Verein maiz: Autonomous Centre by and for migrant women founded in Linz in 1994. Our goal is to better the living and working situation of migrant women in Austria and to promote their political and cultural participation, as well as to transform the existing, unjust social conditions. https://maiz.at/de 

    migrazine - Online Magazine by Migrant Women* for Everyone is a multilingual magazine and alternative media platform that deals with migration-related phenomena as well as socio-political issues. migrazine went online for the first time in 2009, published by maiz (Autonomous Centre by & for Migrant Women), born out of a desire to make critical migrant voices more audible in the media and to stand up against the clichéd portrayal of migrants. http://www.migrazine.at/ 

    Verein maiz and migrazine will be represented by Lia Kastiyo-Spinósa and Rosi Grillmair.

    Aimilia Liontou (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist, interested in the use of technology and its impact on the near future. In her artistic practice, she uses speculative scenarios as a means of investigating current realities and potential futures. By blending real facts with fantasy, she create projects that aim to question specific situations and encourage viewers to think for themselves, rather than suggesting specific solutions. Since May 2023 she is part of servus.at team. https://www.aimilialiontou.com

    Mary Maggic (1991, Los Angeles) is an artist and researcher based in Vienna since 2017 whose practice revolves around workshopology as a shared process of amateurism and care that can collectively move us beyond pollution, planetary wounds, and grief. These workshopologies center ecological crisis as the starting point for embodying our permeability and vulnerability, informed by what our collectives and lands already know and feel. With this participatory practice, Maggic constantly searches for new embodied strategies for dissolving the boundaries between the personal and the planetary, and entering into new modalities of collective world-making.

  13. AI Cafe #2: Franziska Thurner / Behind the Pixels – AI image generators and their bias

    servus clubraum, Tuesday, December 16 at 06:00 PM GMT+1

    AI Cafe #2:
    When:
    16th December at 18:00 
    Where: servus.at Clubraum. c/o Stadtwerkstatt, Kirchengasse 4, 4040 Linz

    Franziska Thurner researches how AI image generators work and to what extent they reinforce and reproduce social prejudices. AI training data consists of billions of internet posts and reflects existing social discrimination (sexism, racism, ableism, classism). During the AI Café, prompts are written and image generators are tried out – the results are analysed in a joint discussion with regard to gender, digital colonialism, resources and climate protection.

    About the artist:
    Franziska Thurner
    is a media artist and university lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the University of Art and Design Linz. In the course of her many years of teaching, she has devoted herself to researching and testing emerging technologies with a focus on art, schools and educational work, as well as issues of digital ethics and digital justice. Her artistic work also focuses on numerous collaborations, including with sound artist Abby Lee Tee and their joint project ‘Beaver Lab’ and with Hanna Priemetzhofer as ‘System Jaquelinde’.

    About the AI Café:
    The AI Café is part of the collaborative project ‘Critical Digitalisation for Art and Culture / Theater Phoenix x servus.at’ and is being realised as part of the AI in Theater Phoenix project through the AI in Art and Culture funding programme. This project explores database-supported, automated and algorithmic processes in theatre operations. The project combines a critical examination of AI systems with their actual application in daily workflows. The ‘AI Cafés’ serve as a public event series in which different experiences and approaches to AI in cultural production are collected and discussed.

    How can we combine accessibility with the evolving language of visual communication?
    d*sign week is a festival for experimental and independent design. The 2025 edition features workshops, lectures and conversations on design tools, graphic software and autonomous printing and publishing processes. Its programme investigates how access, participation and inclusion can be values that guide the making.

    The d*sign week is a project initiated by the local cultural platforms Potato Publishing and servus.at and organized in collaboration with Kunstuniversität Linz, Timebased Media & Visual Communication.

    The current edition takes place 24th–30th November 2025.

    d*sign week 2025
    24th – 30th November 2025
    Linz, Kulturverein zur Schießhalle, Stadtwerkstatt, University of Arts Linz

    Für wen gestalten wir? Wer hat Zugang zu den Gestaltungswerkzeugen? Wie können wir Zugänglichkeit mit der sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Sprache der visuellen Kommunikation kombinieren?

    Die d*sign week ist ein Festival für experimentelles und unabhängiges Design. Die Ausgabe 2025 bietet Workshops und Gespräche zu Designwerkzeugen sowie zu autonomen Druck- und Veröffentlichungsprozessen. Das Programm untersucht, wie Zugang und Inklusion die Gestaltung begleiten können.

    Die d*sign week wird von den unabhängigen Initiativen Potato Publishing und servus.at gemeinsam mit der Abteilungen Visuelle Kommunikation und Zeitbasierte Medien der Kunstuniversität Linz organisiert.

    #hubzilla #servus #linz

    In the past months, Hubzilla, software behind our social networking hub was piling up posts in its queue not delivering them anywhere. It is some kind of guilty pleasure keeping the posts, encoded in its queue processing algorithm, which we already encountered before. It seemed, nothing can be done about it this time and I started to think about how to move channels to biophilicreasearch.net hub. +*-+/-0)*.

    Nevertheless,  release 10 of Hubzilla came out and things moved. It started to bite the dust really hard, the load on the Raspbery went to 40 and queue started to shrink and overnight, it was gone, old posts finally appearing as fresh new at connected streams. Well it takes some commitment to use non-mainstream software and co-develop what it brings to fediverse, and there it goes 5 years already....

    Not updating, I had many things to do, I started working with @servus.at,. Traveling from Prague to Linz, we prepared some interesting things with their cultural infrastructure. Servus resides in a building of autonomous centre  Stadtwerkstadt, together with music venue, free radio Fro  and cafe Strom.

    I did not take any photo during the evening of Artists running datacentres book launch. But read about community datacentre ideas and histories in the interviews with super interesting networked art people, here is the book in PDF:

    -*-*-*-*-*

    Note: My webs.node9.org personal channel is gone (archived here @oRx_Qx_Spideradio), that Streams instance is now for testing only. My current channel is @Michal Klodner, not using much the old Hubzilla profile @oRx-Qx pirateradio. I am also on Servus Social as @michal or occasionally at Sunbeam City: @orx
  27. 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.

  29. Die bayrische #FDP verwendet weiter den zweideutigen Spruch #ServusZukunft als #Wahlkampfslogan zur #ltwby23. #Servus dient im #Bairisch⁠en (und darüber hinaus) sowohl zur #Begrüßung als auch zur #Verabschiedung von Leuten, die man duzt. Was überwiegt, hängt von #Generation und #Schicht ab. Am stabilsten ist die Verwendung bei flüchtigen Begegnungen, wo beides zusammenfällt. #ltwby [1/3]

  30. good sunday morning! if you are observing some technical difficulties - it's us!
    #servus.at services are currently #down. We'll provide updates on the restart process as soon as we have them.

  31. #Lindner kommt 💦

    Danke, aber das wollte ich eigentlich nicht wissen 🙄

    Und was die #FDP-Fuzzis in #Bayern nicht wissen: #Servus ist nicht nur eine Begrüßung, sondern wird genauso zur Verabschiedung benutzt.

    Der Slogan "Servus Zukunft" in Sinne von "Adieu Zukunft" passt aber perfekt zum Programm der #FDP. 👍

    Sorry für den putzigen Fotofilter, aber anders konnte ich das Plakat nicht ertragen 😛

  32. Ich befinde mich im bayrischen Ausland und sollte mir unbedingt merken, dass ich #Servus zu Passanten sagen muss, sonst weisen die mich aus, bevor ich den Job richtig angefangen habe...

  34. #update about #servus #nextcloud for our #members - if you noticed some performance problems in cloud or k4, it was not you! our clouds were a little full and problems with #collabora (which is responsible for the online-editing) emerged - now should be fixed.

    Anyway, lack of storage space is still an issue! Please take the next occasion to archive your old files & enjoy spring cleaning!

  35. Ob Süddeutschen eigentlich bewusst ist, dass sie jedesmal "zu Diensten", "Dein Diener" rufen, wenn sie ein fröhliches "#Servus" raushauen?
