#AMRO26 | On-air #2
This episode features @dvd, curator of AMRO26, @joak, artist, and Gabriella Gordillo, curator of the Nightline program.
Together we explored the strong community at the heart of #AMRO: what formats invite #participation? How do #artists respond to current technological and social conditions, fostering #criticalreflection?

And now for something completely different: AMRO26

Next week I’m going to Linz in Austria. I’ve never been to Austria before, and had no particular desire to visit the country, let alone Linz. I don’t really travel much these days…

"The discursive programme of AMRO focuses hence of #oppositionalstrategies against the #hypervision of the machine, finding ways to escape from the all-seeing eye of the #AI and becoming undetectable, #unreadable, and hence #ungovernable, #uncontrollable."

Tune in to the first podcast episode on #RadioFRO: 22. May April - 17:00

#AMRO26 | On-air #1
In this episode featuring @aderieg & Uschi Reiter from #servus we discussed the history of #AMRO festival and the importance of the #floss movement.
A key focus of this year’s edition is the theme #BecomingUnreadble. What does it mean to evade constant surveillance and data capture, and how can art open up new spaces for ambiguity and self-determination?

If you're in Linz on May 16th, please come and hear me talk about how bad the European Commission's "Digital Omnibus" is for us. I'd love to see you there!

Also, please have a look at all the other wonderful contributions to this year's Art Meets Radical Openness festival taking place in Linz from May 13th to 16th.

Fodder for the machine – The European Commission’s plans to facilitate building generative models on our data without our consent (and why we should stop them) | Art Meets Radical Openness

Under the guise of “cutting unnecessary red tape”, the European Commission proposed profound changes to the Union’s regulatory framework for the protection of personal data.
