LINZ FMR, the festival for art in digital contexts and public spaces, takes place for the fourth time in June 2026. Following FMR 19 along the Linz Danube embankment, FMR 21 around the Mühlkreisbahnhof in Linz-Urfahr, and FMR 23 in the southern harbour area, this edition transforms the Linz Schlossberg into an open and freely accessible art space. FMR 26 brings a major exhibition to locations including the Schlosspark, the Schlossmuseum, the Friedrichstor, the Rudolfstor, the Schlossbergstollen, the Rosengarten, the Keplerwiese and the Martinskirche. Works by numerous national and international artists from the fields of media art, digital art and internet art will be on display.
The programme also features lectures and talks on topics such as “Digital Afterlife and Immortality“, “Future Archaeology and Digital Artifacts“, “Digital Deceleration, Isolation, and the New Idyll“ and “AI Societies, Power Structures, and Resistance“. The Opening Night on Wednesday, 3 June and the Concert Night on Friday, 5 June will feature live acts and DJ sets from the world of experimental electronic music. Daily performances by participating artists on the festival grounds, as well as guided tours with art educators and curators, complete the programme.
The festival is organised by the association “LINZ FMR – Kunst in digitalen Kontexten und öffentlichen Räumen“, founded by the art and culture initiatives qujOchÖ and servus.at, the Atelierhaus Salzamt of the City of Linz, the University of Arts Linz and the Sturm und Drang Galerie. FMR 26 is supported by the City of Linz as a UNESCO City of Media Arts, the State of Upper Austria and the Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport, as well as numerous organisations and companies.
Ephemeral greetings from the festival team!
“ἀλλὰ μὴν οὐδὲ τῷ ἀίδιον εἶναι μᾶλλον ἀγαθὸν ἔσται, εἴπερ μηδὲ λευκότερον τὸ πολυχρόνιον τοῦ ἐφημέρου.“
[“Nor will it be any more good by virtue of being eternal – no more than the long-lasting is whiter than the ephemeral.“]
