Signal Culture – media art communities
As part of the first Fubar Unstable Glitch Art Biennale 2k26 exploring COLLECTIVISM, we invite you to two open and free events – a collaboration between Fubar, SAL and one of the pillars of experimental media art: the US-based artist-run organization Signal Culture.
The 1st event is at 5pm Mon May 17: fubar.space/2026/perfusion-performance
We happily invite you to a shared afternoon of experimental wonders built within communities of media arts!
Starting at 2pm you can join us for a snack and a casual get-together where you can inquire about how media artists create and collaborate, where to find proper funding or interesting equipment and in general why we do what we do and how to do it better together.
At 5pm we’re excited to welcome Debora Bernagozzi and Jason Bernagozzi in a talk about Signal Culture nodes, inner workings and the importance of modularity as a technical but also a community concept.
Signal Culture is a US-based artist-run not-for-profit that encourages creation of new work, building of community, and connection to history in the field of experimental media art by providing artists, researchers, and innovators with residencies, resources, and exhibition opportunities. It was founded in 2012 by Jason Bernagozzi, Debora Bernagozzi & Hank Rudolph with the idea to create an environment where innovative artists, toolmakers, curators, critics, and art historians who are contributing to the field of experimental media art will have time and space to make new work and to interact with one another.
Its inclusively structured residency program hosted over 500 artists, researchers and toolmakers from over 30 countries, building machines, writing books and articles, curating exhibitions and creating community connections. In addition to the residency program, Signal Culture curates exhibitions, has produced 2 Signal Culture Cookbooks, and created a suite of realtime experimental media apps.
