Exhibition
FIBER and Looiersgracht 60 are delighted to present the FIBER Festival exhibition Prima Materia, gathering the works of 16 interdisciplinary artists and designers who question and reimagine the relationship between man, technology and matter. In their attempts to speculate and experiment with the building blocks of our modern digital world, their ways of working share remarkable similarities to the centuries-old practice of the alchemists.
Labs
FIBER invites over 50 international makers and thinkers to participate in the new LAB programme: from a 4-days lab that brings together coders and dancers, a 2-day prototyping lab for data-architecture and two 1-day labs that explore bots and alchemical electronic circuits. Here a wide variety of skills and disciplines meet and merge. Apply now to work on new prototypes or experiment.
