Festival Némo/ARCADI (Paris), Cimatics (Brussels), CTM Festival (Berlin), Cultures Electroni-k (Rennes), CYNETART (Dresden), FutureEverything (Manchester), Insomnia Festival (Tromsø), Les Siestes Electroniques (Toulouse), MeetFactory (Prague), SONICA Festival/Mota-Museum Transitory-Art (Ljubljana), Festival Novas Frequências (Rio de Janeiro), ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst (Graz), RIAM Festival (Marseilles), Rokolectiv Festival (Bucharest), Schiev Festival (Brussels), Skaņu Mežs (Riga), SOCO Festival (oficial) (Montevideo), TodaysArt (The Hague), UH Fest (Budapest), UNSOUND Festival (Kraków).
Assembling a mix of club concerts, outdoor interventions, a multi-day conference programme, a film series, lab formats, as well as an exhibition, the festival adopts the theme of “Tools for an Unknown Future” in an attempt to examine how to cope with increasing uncertainty in the field of culture using the tools that have been developed in our society thus far. In times with no illusions of utopia, the urge to find methods of self-empowerment – a safety net in the face of the unknown – is more urgently needed than ever before.
The event will also mark the end of ECAS while serving as a launch event for a brand-new project born within the network; SHAPE platform (Sound, Heterogeneous Art and Performance in Europe).
Taking place at venues Lab15, Altes Wettbüro, Hole of Fame, and the Thalia movie theatre, the ICAS Festival is headquartered at the Festspielhaus Hellerau.
