Overview

  • Discover how a suffocating, heavy-industry-shaped working-class town accidentally sparked a global revolution of digital art. This captivating walking tour takes you from the rough cellars of the 1980s underground to the luminous, avant-garde architectural masterpieces that define Linz today. We are exploring the tension between heavy industry and high-tech, between rebellious grassroots movements and institutional investments. In doing so, we uncover the hidden scars and spectacular triumphs of a city that refused to be left behind.
