With artist’s lectures, animation screenings, panels, exhibitions, workshops and performances, the festivals’s focus is less on distinctions of format, style or technique, than on the exploration of common territory.
While the lively exchange between the various disciplines highlightes the importance of reduced figuration in today’s visual understanding, an accompanying series of exhibitions, VJ sessions and parties attracted a wide, interested audience.
