For its 2026 edition, AMRO presents Becoming Unreadable at Splace, a showcase in which participating artists engage with strategies of invisibility, unreadability, and digital self-determination as critical responses to the hyper-visibility enforced by AI systems and the growing alliance between big tech and conservative politics. In its call for participation, AMRO refers to this as the ‘toxic dimensions of contemporary hyper-visibility’, asking what the consequences of such tendencies are for society and individuals, and envisages radical forms of media arts discourse and practices, offering a basis for refusing hyper-visibility through privacy and digital self-determination.
