AMRO26
Becoming Unreadable
13th–16th May 2026, Linz (AT)

Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open Culture
 

The 2026 edition ‘Becoming Unreadable’ engages with invisibility, unreadability, ungovernability, and uncomputability as strategies for resisting current tendencies of our networked times. AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, it 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, operating under the radar, and refusing to comply with 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 other and being together as humans.
