The exhibition of “CODED CULTURES - Exploring Creative Emergences” is presenting international artworks and projects related to the four sub-topics of the festival: Designing Complexity, Assembling Things, Expanding Locality and Creating Proto-Culture.

By this means they are situated on the intersection of disciplines and have actively integrated different cultural fields in their artistic development.
