Festival's edition explores technology as an artistic medium and the role of devices (device art) in the creative process. The project Senseless Drawing Bot by So Kanno and Takahiro Yamaguchi questions the boundaries between art and automation through a robot that creates graffiti in the style of Jackson Pollock. The festival emphasizes playfulness, interactivity, and a positive attitude toward technology, drawing on Japanese artistic traditions and historical avant-garde movements such as Dadaism and Surrealism. It raises questions about the relationship between humans and machines and who, in contemporary society, truly holds freedom – people or robots.
