At the interdisciplinary art festival medienfrische, media art and secluded village life meet in the community of Pfafflar in Tyrol. The small and far-flung community of 90 souls is transformed by medienfrische into an experimental field in the midst of the high Alps. The focus is on contemporary developments in the media sector, the art world, science and the business sector. The quiet Bschlabertal is transformed into a place of work for 30 days.

THAT IS THE MEDIENFRISCHE

New media and experimental art find their place in a remote Alpine valley and mix with traditional ways of living and working. But what is the idea behind medienfrische and to what extent does this encounter enrich the population, the region and art itself?

what is bschlabs?

At 1400 m above sea level, in a remote side valley in the Tyrolean Außerfern, is the location of medienfrische, the Bschlabertal. In addition to Bschlabs as the main location, there are also many venues and artist residencies in the village of Boden and in the particularly high Pfafflar.

errlicht

Will-o'-the-wisps still appear in legends and fairy tales on all continents of the earth. However, the brighter our world is illuminated, the rarer they can be perceived. The Bschlabertal is a dark continent. In it, there is hardly any light pollution, and it is rich in errant legends and tales, which we will bring back to light in 2023.

timetable

The 2023 program will be announced here shortly.

who is behind it?

What would an art festival be without the people behind the ideas and their implementation? In addition to the medienfrische team, it is above all the residents of the Bschlabertal who make a major contribution to this unique project. It is created in close cooperation with the people who live there before, during and after the festival.
