Saturday - Live attendance: Kepler's expedition to planet B

Register for live attendance on Saturday 12 September 2020 (23:00-01:00). Max. 10 persons. Location will be sent to you by email.

As part of the Ars Electronica 2020 festival, Waag is organising Kepler's expedition to the garden of planet B, a program to happen live with a very limited audience on site of Waag’s planet B location at the Amsterdam Science park and its fringes, where it touches former now unused farmland with its growing biodiversity. The program will be streamed live via Zoom/Youtube to Ars Electronica’s audiences. It will consist of demonstrations and expeditions, presentations and discussions.

The program takes place 11 and 12 September between 23.00 and 02.00, in an attempt to be closer to those other species you never thought to be part of your garden, in the Amsterdam case in the fringes of the Science Park location arisen on former farmland. You can attend the programme through online videostream, or register for live attendance (maximum of 10 people) at our location yet to be revealed.

Register for this ticket if you want to attend live (location TBA) on Saturday September 12th.
