In programming, folding is a process that brings together different elements to create something new, while mapping pairs things in a way that allows for transformation. At the Map&Fold Festival, we take inspiration from these ideas to shape the future of art and culture.
The Map&Fold Festival is all about the intersection of technology and art. We’re a festival dedicated to media art, where artists and technologists come together to create, collaborate, and innovate. We believe in breaking down barriers, mixing the physical and digital worlds to offer unique experiences that engage all the senses.
Our festival features interactive art installations, cutting-edge music, and design that invites both in-person visitors and online participants from around the world to join in. We also celebrate the seamless flow from art exhibitions into vibrant after-show parties, featuring international DJs and live acts that keep the energy alive.
Whether you’re exploring a digital landscape or dancing to live music, the Map&Fold Festival is a space where creativity and technology meet, offering a dynamic cultural experience for everyone involved.
Map&Fold proudly presents: Ambient und Experimentalmusik jeden ersten Dienstag im Monat! Dies ist das letzte Konzert vor der Sommerpause!

Thomas Maos and his electronic guitar
Sein aktuelles Solo Album glühen wurde 2021 im Bereich Grenzgänge für den Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik nominiert. Tom Greenland vom NEW YORK CITY JAZZ RECORD schreibt darüber: …Der dramatische Bogen vieler seiner Tracks wird größtenteils von Kontrasten in Klangfarbe und Textur getragen, die so abgemischt sind, dass jeder markante Klang auf die gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Stereomischung verschoben wird, wodurch ein einnehmender „Dialog“ entsteht.“
timodufner …is a musician, media artist and computer scientist. His work focuses on testing the limits of hardware and software. Glitches are an inevitable part of this process, which he consciously uses to his advantage. Another characteristic feature of his work is the direct interaction between sound and image as well as a two-way exchange between the audience and the piece. All of his work is created in real time – in the moment – making each performance unique. Real-time audio processing, machine learning and AI, live coding and numerous experimental devices are used to create an immersive viewing and listening experience.
GEARGRIND Geargrind extemporises electronic music, live, with only little preparation before each show, which makes every performance unique. No software is involved in any of his shows. Instead, he uses digital and analog instruments to create a sound that oscillates between spheric-synthetic ambient sounds and hard acid trance.

KNIPSEN
Es dämmert. Funken fliegen, dichte rhythmische hypnotische Musik drängt in die Lücke zwischen Tag und Nacht. KNIPSEN spielen keinen Jazz. Besetzung: Markus Merle – noise Carsten Netz – Blasinstrumente, Effekte Michael Fiedler – Loops
timodufner … is a musician, media artist and computer scientist. His work focuses on testing limits of hard- and software. In doing so, glitches are an unavoidable component he consciously puts up with. Characteristic features of his work also include direct interaction between sound and image and an exchange between audience and piece. All of his works are created real-time – in the very moment – and thus each performance is different. Real-time audio processing, machine learning and AI, live coding and numerous electronical instruments are being deployed.
