From 10th to 16th of November 2016 you can experience the six-day CYNETART – international festival for computer based arts and transdisciplinary projects at the historically significant Hellerau Festival Theatre. The festival offers exhibitions, presentations, readings, workshops, performances, transdisciplinary media art projects and concerts. Our 20th anniversary theme: "The Enigmatic Moment".
This year's festival is both a reflection of the contemporary Zeitgeist as well as a reinvention of the presentation platform and it’s special artistic orientation and quality. But above all, it’s an invitation to the audience to discover the new and old in a special way. The CYNETART, which has been held since 1997, dedicates itself to cultural reflection. Our focus lies less on the capabilities of new technologies, but rather on their cultural exchange potential and to bridge the gap between intuition, crafts, aesthetics and narrative.
Every two years, TMA Hellerau announces the international CYNETART Competition. Once again grateful and proud to award three prizes this year.
