LINZ FMR: Artist-in-Residence 2025/26 for Digital Art in Public Space (Austria)
FMR – Festival for Art in Digital Contexts and Public Spaces is calling for applications for Artist-in-Residence for the upcoming 4th edition which will take place in Linz, Austria, from 3 to 7 June 2026.
FMR is a biennial festival showcasing artistic processes and positions that reflect the ephemeral nature of our digitally connected present. The continuous digitalisation of everyday life creates an intense overlap and layering of familiar physical and intricately interwoven digital spaces. FMR focuses on the shifts, distortions, and rifts that arise in this process and presents contemporary artistic perspectives in this context.
The festival presents works whose initial ideas originate in virtual-digital spaces or have a strong connection to it but are displayed — sometimes in a transformed manner — in physical surroundings, specifically in the public and open space.
The residency will take place in two phases. By applying to FM[Ai]R 26, you are applying for both residencies. The exact duration and days of the two residencies will be negotiated.
First residency (preparation):
* Up to one week between 2–8 June 2025 (in exceptional cases, an online residency may be considered)
* Artist grant: 450 EUR
Second residency (production):
* Residency duration: Up to one month in February or March 2026
* Final materialisation on site as part of FMR 26 Festival (3–7 June, 2026)
* Artist grant: 900 EUR
The following conditions apply to both residencies:
* Production budget: Up to 1,500 EUR for both residencies
* Travel expenses: Up to 450 EUR per residency
