The line up will consist of an exhibition with focus on art & tech installations, workshops, a VJ’amboree, audiovisual live acts, and thematical presentations and discussions with interdisciplinary focus. Using 20 projectors, and 15 slide projectors, nearly 90 creators/ artists and 25 VJ teams expand the limits of our visual perception.

We welcome people from all walks of life, especially youngsters who want to look beyond their comfort zone, experiment and widen their vocabulary of contemporary visual culture. ROM balances on border edges where art and science meet, performativity and visuality connect, and different ways of thinking create synthesis: where the user/audience becomes a creator at the same time.

On 27th May world-famous light artist László Zsolt Bordos, who is also the main patron of the event, gives a lecture on the evolution of mapping, while futurologist Ferenc Kömlődi gives a lecture about the connection between artificial intelligence and visual data mining. There will be an opportunity in the workshop room to get acquainted with the theoretical and practical sides of visual control through facial mimics/expressions.
