Panel Discussion
As FIBER Festival celebrates its 15th anniversary, we take this milestone as an opportunity to reflect on the role of festivals as dynamic cultural hubs – living systems that reflect and foster artistic and technological developments. Festivals, especially those operating within digital culture, are not only platforms for artistic experimentation and discourse but also sites of knowledge production and exchange. Yet, the outputs of these events often remain fragmented and stored across various digital and physical spaces, vulnerable to shifting technological landscapes, corporate data monopolisation, and the impermanence of social platforms. We will open the first day of our Context Program with a panel discussion around practices of recording artistic content, both from the perspective of cultural organisations working and presenting these types of content, as well as artists producing them.
