Explore the festival’s exhibitions around Freilager-Platz through guided tours and immerse yourself in the future visions and «tools» of the exhibiting artists.
Festival exhibition «Tooling the Future»
The festival exhibitions focus on the theme of tools, ranging from AI and surveillance software to XR technologies, as seen through the lens of artists who aim to shape a more optimistic future. The works on display challenge our relationship with the world and the tools we use, offering new perspectives on technological developments. Whose tools are we using? Who are they designed for?
