The NODE Forum for Digital Arts tackles the topic of ecological crisis and how creative takes on technology can offer solutions and empower stakeholders. More than 100 international artists, designers, researchers and technologists will share their ideas while the whole vvvv community is invited to actively engage in the discussion, workshops and networking.

Special times require special solutions – thats why NODE20 counts on digital formats more than ever. Events are not only held at different venues across Frankfurt, they are also accessible online from any place. The “Emergency Broadcast Studio” uses AR technology to air keynote talks, panel discussions, project deep dives and community spotlights. Via the NODE Festival Hub, the audience can chat, connect and interact from their homes.

NODE Forum for Digital Arts will be held from 2 until 8 October 2020. Find the program here. The entire conference program will be streamed publicly on 20.nodeforum.org and Youtube. Tickets can be bought online.
