ART+TECH Festival [2026]
The New Human
The New Human is our theme and exploration for the ART+TECH Festival in 2026
Be part of Exploring The New Human — A CODAME Creative Hackathon. Let’s design the future — playfully, together.
There’s no one way to join. Creativity flows in every direction. Build, imagine, organize, mentor, or simply explore.
Ideas born during the hackathon may grow into full installations showcased during Milano Art Week + Milano Design Week 2026 and beyond: traveling exhibitions, open-source toolkits, and residencies around the world.
The New HumanWe are not born new. We grow from fragments — scars, memories, languages, and code — layered into hybrid forms of body, mind, and culture.
Like a coral reef that forms from debris, we accrete into new shapes under pressure. Technology, biology, and imagination intertwine to create futures that are uneven, adaptive, and alive.
How do our senses expand or fracture through machines?
What rituals emerge when bodies merge with data?
What divides appear when some are augmented and others unplugged?
Where do empathy, creativity, and connection live in these hybrid worlds?
