Mesh is a new festival for digital art and technology. The first edition will take place from 16 – 20 October 2024 around the Freilager-Platz in Basel and Münchenstein.
Art and technology in dialogue
The accelerating technological developments of recent years (e.g. artificial intelligence, mixed reality and robotics) are opening up new opportunities for artists to realise their ideas. They work closely with technologists and scientists to conceive and realise their works. Many exciting works in recent years have been created through the interplay of different disciplines.
And what does this collaboration look like? How does technology shape art? Or vice versa: how is technology driven by artistic work?
Mesh is dedicated to these questions and visualises them using impressive artistic works. It addresses social and societal contexts and shows various connections between culture, education and industry.
