LINZ FMR is a biennial festival and format for artistic processes and positions, that reflects the ephemeral nature of our digital and connected present. The ever-advancing digitalization of everyday life implies an intense overlapping and layering of familiar physical, but also finely interwoven digital spaces. LINZ FMR focuses on the shifts, distortions and rifts that arise in this process and presents current artistic positions in this context.
Servus.at took part in a panel with Mur.at at the Graz Linuxtage in April: ‘More than alternatives - Present and future of self-organised non-commercial FOSS & art server projects’.
In view of the growing political influence on large IT companies, the call for alternative digital infrastructures is getting louder. Members of the Graz-based culture server mur.at invite you to a panel discussion: what is the present and future of self-organised non-commercial server projects? And what might it take to be more than ‘just an alternative’?
