Computer games as the embodiment of new imagination. Connecting and collaborating are about spontaneity—the merging of energies, desires, visions, and concepts—not just some ideological alliance, establishment-backed cooperation, co-production, or another capitalist-driven business. It’s an experimental space, a performative act of joy, celebration, and festivity. It needs to be relaxed and intuitive, not constrained by prearranged limits that stifle creativity and desire. The news is just news, bureaucrats are just bureaucrats, and artists are not defined by these roles—we are not, you are not. So, surprise, and perform tricks that will become the "truths of tomorrow," as the spiritual father of conceptualism once said. In 2010's edition, MFRU connects with the Kiblix festival (Kibla, Maribor) and the HAIP biennale (Kiberpipa, Ljubljana), establishing the "Unified Festival Platform KIBLIX + MFRU + HAIP."
