Media art and secluded village life come together at the interdisciplinary art festival medienfrische in the 14-soul village of Boden in Tyrol. The small village is transformed by medienfrische into a field of experimentation in the middle of the high Alps. The focus is on contemporary developments in the media sector,
art, science and economics. The village at 1400 metres above sea level becomes a place of diverse work processes.

At the interdisciplinary art festival medienfrische, media art and secluded village life come together in the 20-soul village of Boden in Tyrol. The small village is transformed by medienfrische into a field of experimentation in the middle of the high Alps. The focus is on contemporary developments in the media sector,
art, science and economics. The small village at 1400 metres above sea level becomes a place of diverse work processes.
this is the media freshness
New media and experimental art make a stop in a remote Alpine valley and mix with traditional ways of living and working. But what is the idea behind the medienfrische and to what extent does this encounter enrich the population, the region and art itself?
what is soil?
At an altitude of 1400 metres, in a remote side valley in the Tyrolean Außerfern, the Bschlabertal is the location of the medienfrische. Boden is a small district of the valley with around 20 inhabitants.
this does not fit here
When asked what he thought of the media freshness, one Pfafflar resident replied: "It doesn't fit here."
If something doesn't fit, then something seems to be disruptive, contradictory, skewed, off, not right. Something contradictory, inconsistent does not fit in a certain place, in a certain position.
Who is behind it?
What would an art festival be without the people behind the ideas and their realisation? In addition to the team of medienfrische but above all, the residents of the Bschlabertal are making a major contribution to this unique project. It is being created in close collaboration with the people who live there before, during and after the festival.
