REFRESH #3

Experimental Futures & Immersive Experiences

This session unites designers, artists, researchers and experts from Switzerland and abroad to anticipate possible futures for Design and the Arts. Together we create a unique experience that transforms Zurich West in the temporary home for digital artists, digital shapers, digital critics and -experts. Here, all these different spheres will meet and collide. It's the must-be-date in Zurich when you're interested in the intersection of digital arts, design and technology. It's an outstanding opportunity to talk to creators, artists, scientists, programmers or CEO's in a chill atmosphere and gain insights into their latest projects.

REFRESH #2 is an Initiative of the Department Design and the Immersive Arts Space of the Zurich University of the Arts in partnership with the Digital Festival.

Event Location: Zurich University of the Arts, Toni-Areal, Pfingstweidstrasse 96, 8005 Zürich
