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.
The festival, whose title alludes to ephemerality and short-livedness, presents works whose initial ideas can be found in virtual and/or digital space or have a strong reference to it, but are shown (sometimes in a transformed way) in the physical surroundings of the city of Linz. The focus is primarily on the interstices that arise during these transformations into public space – outside of museums, galleries or art spaces.

The discourse program at FMR 23 consists of a series of lectures and talks around the topics that emerge throughout the festival program. They offer a temporary social space for encounters between participating artists, organizers, audience, or simply passers-by. Every evening from Wednesday to Saturday, starting at 6 pm, at Klimaoase Linz-Lustenau. After an introductory lecture, we will open the stage for the participating FMR 23 artists to talk about their work. We will surf along conglomerates of themes at the crossing of digital contexts and public spaces, trying to detox digitality through its ephemeral circuits from the aesthetics of chromatic fermentation to uncontrolled automation and computing in the wilderness.
