Map&Fold

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.
