Mednarodni festival računalniške umetnosti (MFRU) je eden najstarejših evropskih festivalov, posvečenih prepletanju umetnosti, tehnologije in družbe. Od leta 1995 v Mariboru raziskuje raznolike odnose med digitalnimi mediji, umetniškimi praksami in kritičnim mišljenjem ter deluje kot prostor eksperimenta, refleksije in družbenega dialoga. Festival povezuje umetnike, teoretike, hekerje, raziskovalce in širšo javnost, da skupaj razmišljajo o vlogi tehnologije v sodobnem svetu in njenem vplivu na načine zaznavanja, delovanja ter skupnostnega povezovanja. Letošnja, 31. edicija z naslovom Ezoterična ekotehnika: Iracionalna komputacija in zarotniško mreženje v ospredje postavlja skrite povezave med medijskimi tehnologijami, uporabniki ter kroženjem znanja in informacij. V času vojaškega in tehnološkega avtoritarizma, prežetega z ideologijami umetne inteligence in tveganega kapitala, festival odpira prostore subtilnih uporov in nepokorščine. Predstavljena umetniška dela delujejo v majhnem merilu, uporabljajo obskurne in zarotniške estetike ter preizprašujejo ustaljene načine delovanja. MFRU31 tako raziskuje možnosti novih družbenih in tehnoloških zavezništev, ki skozi digitalno čarovništvo, ritualno računalništvo in kibernetični okultizem ponujajo poti k zamišljanju odpornih, solidarnostnih prihodnosti.
The International Festival of Computer Art (MFRU) is one of the oldest European festivals dedicated to the intersections of art, technology, and society. Since 1995, it has been held in Maribor, exploring diverse relationships between digital media, artistic practices, and critical thought. The festival serves as a platform for experimentation, reflection, and social dialogue, bringing together artists, theorists, hackers, researchers, and the broader public to collectively question the role of technology in shaping contemporary experience, action, and community. This year’s 31st edition, titled Esoteric Ecotech: Irrational Computation and Conspiratorial Networking, foregrounds the hidden connections between media technologies, users, and the circulation of knowledge and information. In an era marked by military and technological authoritarianism—driven by ideologies of artificial intelligence and venture capital—the festival opens spaces of subtle resistance and disobedience. The presented artistic works operate on small scales, employing obscure and conspiratorial aesthetics to challenge dominant systems of power. MFRU31 thus investigates the potential for new socio-technological alliances that, through digital witchcraft, ritual computing, and cybernetic occultism, imagine resilient and solidaristic futures.
