Modes of Creation comes in celebration of the intersection between art and technology. Creatives and Researchers are increasingly coming together to fathom and question possibilities of an alternative future, providing notions on where the fiction ends, and the Anthropocene starts. Stretching the boundaries of traditional art forms and technologies, this year’s WIP festival invites you to explore new modes of creation, reimagine the future and bring discourse around the infusion of creative thinking and technology.
This year, we bring together a diverse selection of thought-provoking immersive installations and interactive pieces that examine the themes of identity, community, sustainability, and innovation. The exhibition welcomes work focusing on ecology, prototyping & design, augmentation of reality and gaming and will include projects that act as critical commentaries, inquiries, and aestheticisms on the shifting environmental and human conditions.

ECOLOGY includes projects that reveal unfamiliar relations and reciprocations between natural resources and technology, critically commenting on contemporary tensions, and showing the shifting environmental and human conditions through the looking glass.
PROTOTYPE & DESIGN brings to the foreground ongoing research & design projects that utilize cutting-edge tools and processes for creative and technical purposes.
GAMING a meta-arcade, exploring the digital revolution’s disruptions as interactive reprojections and gamification.
AUGMENTATION includes projects looking into the post-human condition, narrating – or even actualizing – augmented and imaginary realities through interfaces and virtual spaces.

Following the success of last year’s event, which attracted over 3000 visitors, the WIP Arts & Technology festival is set to return for the third consecutive year from October 20th to November 3rd.
WIP (Work in Progress) Festival is an ever-evolving series of activities and exhibitions focused on arts & technology synergies. Organized by CYENS Centre of Excellence together with esteemed collaborators, the festival is breaking new ground in the east Mediterranean, aiming to become an annual reference point for scientists and creatives experimenting at the intersection of Arts, Science and Technology.
As stated by its name, WIP festival embraces the notion that both art and research are a Work in Progress. As such, it features a program of workshops, discussions, and presentations that focuses on the creative processes. Effectively, the works on display are considered as in process products open to an active engagement between the observer and the creator and encouraging a dialogue on the impact of technology on our society and contemporary culture.
WIP Arts and Technology Festival welcomes you whether you’re an artist ready to showcase your work or a visitor excited about the outcomes of the intersection of art and technology.
