as its focal point. Part of the festival’s program will be devoted to
the network V2_ has built over the past several years in the People’s

and other key art world players will take part in the festival. Along

host an extensive range of concerts, performances, seminars, workshops
and a symposium.
Visit the Exhibition On the Internet

of China and Japan, plus a number of pieces realized in collaboration
with V2_Lab.

control via the Internet. Use the robot to take a remote walk through
the exhibition and communicate with visitors.

center and Pakhuismeesteren in Rotterdam’s Kop van Zuid. DEAF’s other
