This speed dating session gives an opportunity for local artists and professionals (visual artists, performers, musicians, sound art producers, designers, etc) to meet and present their work to arts organisations, festivals and independent curators from all over Europe. Participants will have 8 minutes per “date” to present their work before moving on to the next representative. 

Among those present will be members from ICAS - International Cities for Advanced Sound, a worldwide network that assembles over 35 independent organisations that support new music, audiovisual creativity, digital innovation and related fields. Representatives from the SHAPE platform – Sound Heterogeneous Art and Performance in Europe and the European Network for Contemporary Audiovisual Creation (ENCAC) will also be present.

Participation is based on pre-submitting a short application form, found below.

TIP: Participants are encouraged to bring headphones and music or audiovisual samples on their laptops, ipods, or other device, in oder to share their work during the session.
