Starting with the first day of October the 8th /’fu:bar/ festival is endeavoring into a new sequence of new media art processes and errors within.
This year’s iteration is focused on understanding and supporting different notions and modalities of digital+online IDENTITIES. The event is articulating this broad topic with a week of performances, workshops, talks and lectures by ~20 artists and collectives interleaved in interdisciplinary areas of digital networks, ethical computing and contemporary multimedia. The discursive program is supported by a set of video screenings and a media art installation.
Our 2022 program is supported by artists, activists and curators: Subota [HR], Z. Blace & (Open)GLAMwiki Croatia [HR], MFRU [SI], Janire Goikoetxea [ES], crash-stop [IE], andrei jay [US], Golubjevaite [NL], hexe.exe [US], Dina Karadžić & Vedran Gligo [HR], Glitchwerks [US], Teuta Gatolin [HR], Ejla Kovačević [HR], Julia Makivic [UK], Eyal Gruss [IL], Elektronengehirn [DK], tonota & varboska [HR] and many others.
The festival event will be progressing towards the end of October – into a big group exhibition accessible online and as a free-access local installation (at the Institut français de Croatie, Zagreb/HR), where we will share, show and discuss several hundreds of artwork by more than a hundred artists from all around the world. More TBA.
All events are free access; some workshops require registration.
The events are conducted in English (unless otherwise stated).
Schedules are in CEST/UTC+02.
Calendar files are available here and as ics.
