Festival Theme 2017

The theme Prima Materia showcases artists and designers who question and reimagine the relationship between man, technology and matter. Technology has a profound effect on nature and can help us find a sustainable and emotional relation with the Earth. At the same time it is getting harder and harder to predict our future as a human race in the context of fast technological developments or things like artificial intelligence, big data and decentralized networks - developments That feel almost like organic, all-encompassing forces of nature . The Human Scale and the tools That we use to interpret the world with free-radically trans are being formed. We Seem to be caught in the middle of invisible forces.
