#meinfluss
#meinfluss is an international, transdisciplinary art initiative in Wasserburg am Inn (June–August 2025), critically linking ecology, tourism, and digital imagery. Artists from around the world intervene along the Inn River with performances, installations, and workshops. The goal is to decode the apparatuses of social media as techno-imaginary surfaces, on which nature is no longer experienced, but programmed — and climate becomes a function within a colonial archive of images. What appears as communication is often a simulation; what seems like attention is, in fact, a programmed gesture. We seek to expose and reprogram these gestures to enable new dialogues beyond the colonial function of the image.
Digitalimagery & nature
In a moment when digital images do more than depict—they perform—#meinfluss listens to the frequencies beneath the visible. It traces how the visual regimes of social media and tourism rehearse climate injustice and reproduce colonial ways of seeing. Rather than amplify spectacle, the project engages in a practice of attunement: slow looking, collaborative witnessing, and embodied interventions in public space. It insists on the minor gestures, the haptic traces, the resonant silences that disturb dominant narratives. #meinfluss does not just show—it feels through image and place, unsettling the visual logics of extractive knowledge with a politics of relation and refusal.

Art enables me and you to attend otherwise ...
Languages are rivers-they carry life, death and futures
Departure
#meinfluss listens before it looks.
It understands art as a practice of attunement — to ecological resonances, to silenced histories embedded in landscapes, and to the quiet frequencies of refusal.
By connecting perspectives from the Global South and North, it creates shared spaces of encounter. Nature is no longer a neutral backdrop, but a relational terrain shaped by memory, power, and perception. Participation becomes a slow, embodied act of witnessing — a way of imagining futures otherwise.
