In the midst of crisis and forbidden touches, KONTEJNER is grasping new futures! Since 2005 and through its five past editions, Touch Me has so far explored dark matter, time, pleasure, intelligence and energy ab/use. Developing continuously at the intersection of art and science, this year Touch Me festival is bigger than ever!

The exhibition programme, sound performances, lectures, artist talks, workshops and film programme gather works in the field of exploratory and interdisciplinary arts and experimental sound. Along with the thematic outline which focuses on new forms of coexistence between living beings, nature and technology, the festival also brings KONTEJNER’s curatorial exhibition “OPEN – Living Beings and Their Dangerous Liaisons” as part of EMAP – European Media Art Platform, curated by Olga Majcen Linn and Tereza Teklić (KONTEJNER).
