Another End is Possible – NEW NOW, Festival for Digital Arts, UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein, ESSEN, Germany, 27th August 2021–03 October 2021

A review of the international and interdisciplinary conference Another End Is Possible during the brand-new European festival for Digital Arts NEW NOW. The review is based on my experience as an early career researcher and artist speaking at the conference, and also as a visitor of the exhibition and spectator of performances, physically (on-site) and digitally (remotely). NEW NOW Festival presents various programmes for culture development merging different formats such as a residency, a conference, a physical and an online exhibition as well as performances. This festival is an example of good practices for art and design research future dissemination transforming the COVID-19 pandemic’s challenges as well as sustainability issues into opportunities to create stimulating and engaging new experiences beyond screens and spaces.
