The Machines are coming: not to overthrow us, but to make art with us, to work with us, to dance with us. The ART MACHINES Festival is here to mend your relationship with the robots, the glitches, the algorithms. From the 7th to the 11th December, De Havenloods and De Nijverheid will transform into an interactive site for the whole family: take a stroll, have a bite, rewire your creative circuits.
The immersive art exhibition will be open every evening to captivate your senses, featuring impressive pieces such as Studio Marpi’s projections of fantastical creatures that have charmed visitors all over the world. A movie night, an immersive concert and a new edition of the Algorave will constellate your evenings with mesmerising audio-visual marvels. Want to learn more about how to make your own boundary-breaking digital artworks? Workshops, talks, and tours will run throughout the festival for professionals and beginners of all ages.
