The first Fubar biennial edition takes place throughout 2026 in Zagreb and online, with a programme connecting glitch art, experimental film, open source, collective practices and new models of digital architecture.
After ten years of continuous activity, the tenth anniversary edition in 2024 and work on the digital archive throughout 2025, Fubar is transitioning in 2026 from an annual festival into a biennial of variable and glitch art. The first biennial edition carries the slogan “Unstable art for unstable times” and focuses on collectivism, collaborative modes of making, knowledge production and the development of shared infrastructure for experimental digital art.
The programme takes place throughout the year, in a hybrid format connecting online and physical spaces. Zagreb is one of its main meeting points, while a large part of the programme is also available online to an international audience.
From October 3 to 9 2026, the Zagreb in-person programme brings an archive debut, art installations, film screenings, a collaborative noise performance (at a separate location), collaborative workshops and open discussions. The programme includes “sunrises”, a networked webcam video essay by anonymous authors; Glitch’n’Games, a Chicago-based community programme; a workshop and talk by Daniel Temkin on esoteric programming languages; the Exquisite Glitch workshop; documentary screenings and a film triptych by the collaborative collective h-art-ig.net; a programme by the French film cooperative Collectif Jeune Cinéma; panels on sustainability and collaborative technologies in collaboration with a number of collectives (Clockwork Voltage, Glitch Artists Collective, Glitch‘n’Games, GLI.TC/H, mur.at, NAE Collective); and the public launch of the interactive Fubar Archive.
Fubar brings together artists, curators, programmers, researchers and collectives from Croatia and the international scene, and all programme content is free and open to the public.
Fubar (/‘fu:bar/) is organized by the artist organisation Format C, which develops open, transdisciplinary and collaborative models of production and education in the field of contemporary digital art.
All information, the programme schedule and links to online content are available at the project website fubar.space, on social media @fubar_expo and via email: fubar@formatc.hr.
Fubar is supported by many collaborating authors and participating artists, as well as a number of program and media partners. Fubar events are financially supported by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, Kultura Nova Foundation, the City of Zagreb and Format C Artist Organization.
