At the end of March 2019, LINZ FMR 19 will negotiate ephemeral art in digital contexts and public spaces for a few days in Linz, Austria. The format’s core is an exhibition in public and open space with works by international and local artists who deal with art in digital contexts. A supporting program of walks, lectures, films, concerts and discussions will be set up to address new approaches, working methods and developments in connection with art in digital contexts.

On Thursday, 22 November 2018, starting at 6 p.m. at the Salzamt Linz, the prologue offers an introduction to the topics that will be presented in a concentrated form at LINZ FMR 19 at the end of March 2019. The prologue consists of a lecture by Britta Peters (DE), a concert with Miri Kat (UK) and Julia del Río (ES) as well as screenings of the works “DECODING Katy Perry’s Dark Horse (THE WHOLE TRUTH)” by Karin Ferrari (IT/AT), “Fetish Finger” by Susanna Flock (AT), “Need Room” by Isabella Auer (AT) and “My Holy Nacho?” by Bernhard Garnicnig & Jamie Allen (AT/CA).
