The official title of Edition 12 is: LOADING... Revealing Art, AI and Tech. The developments regarding technology and AI are ongoing. Every day, new features and possibilities emerge, but their boundaries and impact remain unknown. One could say we live in a constant state of loading...

TECH & AI

For Edition 12 we have asked artists to consider the effects of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) on our everyday lives. The ways in which we communicate, engage and create are all impacted by technology and AI. What are the implications? And where will it take us? The different perspectives will be highlighted during the twelfth edition.
